Thanks, but I can put forms/fields and edit it, the question is if can I do it with a table ? Mark Storer wrote: http://itext.ugent.be/library/question.php?id=48In general, you cannot modify existing content in a PDF. If you can gain access to the original file (word doc, web page, whatever), I STRONGLY recommend that you alter that file and rebuild the PDF. You CAN overwrite original content, but that requires knowing ahead of time where it will be... if you're modifying the same PDF in different ways, this can be relatively easy: Draw a white box over a given set of coordinates to cover the original content Draw whatever it is you need to draw... text, tables, whatever But the original content is still there, you just can't see it. Screen readers will still pick up the original text, and it can still be selected and copied to the clipboard. As soon as what you're covering moves, or you need to reflow text, or change where one page ends and the next starts, dropping new content over the old runs into serious problems. PDF is designed first and foremost as a display format. Editing an existing PDF is almost always restricted to stamping new content over the old... and iText cannot handle those rare exceptions. Even PDF files that were generated by iText suffer from this 'limitation'. --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com #include <disclaimer> typedef std::Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard;-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Franco Biaggi Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [iText-questions] Just q question of pdftbade Hello, Very good tool !!!
