I'm using PdfCopy to bring in a batch of disparate types to a destination PDF
file. I'm currently seeing a problem where PdfWriter works fine, but
PdfCopy (a subclass of PdfWriter) fails.
Here's a small piece of code that replicates the problem:
import java.io.*;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
public class IText
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
try
{
OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream( "cow.pdf" ));
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
//PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, out); // using
this works
PdfCopy writer = new PdfCopy(doc, out); // using
this fails
doc.open();
try
{
File jpgFile = new File( "cow.jpg" );
Image image = Image.getInstance(jpgFile.getAbsolutePath());
doc.newPage();
boolean added = doc.add( image );
if ( !added )
{
throw new IllegalStateException( "Failed to add image"
);
}
}
finally
{
doc.close();
}
}
catch( Throwable t )
{
t.printStackTrace( System.out );
}
}
}
So, what am I doing wrong? Can I fix this without using PdfWriter?
The reason I don't want to use PdfWriter is that I've found a set of PDF
files that don't copy over correctly when PdfWriter is used. PdfWriter fails
silently and brings over the PDF pages as blanks. PdfCopy doesn't have this
problem.
