well... I need to do this programmatically (on lots of documents, server
side).
The original documents will have an image in the background layer.
Versions of each document will be sent from the server to either laser
printers where the entire document will be printed (including the
background) or to dox matrix printers to print on multi-part pre-printed
forms. In the second case, I need to either remove the image from the
document before printing or flip the 'background printing' bit. This
will all be automated, so the printing options need to be completely
specified in the document itself.
Can iText locate and delete a background layer from a PDF? Or can I
manipulate the printing status of an existing layer?
Another option I thought of could be to create an entirely new PDF using
the form field locations and properties from the original document. This
will be tricky, as there are lots of formatting options that have been
put into the original (font sizes, colors, etc...) that would need to be
copied. This isn't my favorite way to go, but is my backup if nothing
else works.
Thanks,
Carl

I want to be able to produce a version of this
document where the image doesn't print.
I think the best solution would be to create the template
that way. Add the image to an OCG that doesn't print in
Acrobat.
