Hi Alan
Thank you for your reply. I also tried to add the layer using the PDFWriter
object instead of the PDFStamper, which I now know doesnt support layers. Here
is my code:
(My question below the code)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
//outFile is my concatenated file, built from individual files with layers and
ended up losing them in the concatenation, not sure why, maybe the PDFCopy
Object also doesnt support layers yet?
PdfReader reader3 = new PdfReader(outFile);
Document doc = new Document(reader3.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
if (File.Exists("C:\\TEST.PDF"))
File.Delete("C:\\TEST.PDF");
PdfWriter writer;
writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, (Stream)File.Open("C:\\TEST.PDF",
FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write));
doc.Open();
PdfLayer layer = new PdfLayer("BaseLayer", writer);
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.WINANSI,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetTextMatrix(50, 790);
cb.SetLeading(24);
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 18);
cb.BeginLayer(layer);
cb.NewlineShowText("write to layer");
cb.EndLayer();
cb.EndText();
doc.Close();
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final doc ends up ONLY with the text -write to layer- but it doesnt have
the content of outfile. I am new to iText, but shouldn't the final doc have
the content of outFile because that is how reader3 and doc where opened?
Thank you
