OK, I asked a colleague for his copy of "Spring in Action":
http://www.manning.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=223_15

On p341 (listing 9.8) I found an example of a buildPdfDocument
implementation. The Document and PdfWriter object are passed
to this method by Spring.
On p342 I see that you can change the document by overriding
the getDocument method. I don't think there's such a method
to change the PdfWriter method (that probably wouldn't be a
good idea).

However, when I go on to p343, I see an example AbstractJpegView
(listing 9.9) and CircleJpegView (listing 9.10) implementing this
abstract class. These classes implement the View interface, more
specifically the method render(model, request, response).

It wouldn't be that difficult to write a class AbstractPdfStamperView
that allows you to stamp an existing PDF file from the Spring
Framework.

Of course, I don't know exactly what you need.
If you can get me in touch with the Spring guys,
we could probably write some useful code together.

best regards,
Bruno
