Thanks. Will it be easy to construct a new PDF and merging the two documents, instead of merging new content on each page with a PdfStamper? > If you are hoping that iText will be able > to determine the positions of the line starts > (and add a line number before each line in the > existing PDF), you'll have to look for another > product. No, I don't expect this ability. There are complicated objects involved anyway, such as images and typeset mathematics to which the idea of a "line number" wouldn't apply in a straightforward way. I simply want a a "line number ruler" down the margin of the page for human reference. Thanks Bruno.
