I'm trying to hide or remove some text information in the margins of a
PDF that we use before publication. In the published PDF we don't want
the user to see this text. I can hide the information by using fill(),
but the user can still select the text underneath. Is there a way to
prevent that? Here's my code:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(INPUT_PDF);
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
new FileOutputStream(coverFileName));
int i = 0;
PdfContentByte over;
while (i < n) {
i++;
over = stamp.getOverContent(i);
over.setColorFill(Color.white);
over.rectangle(20, 30, 32, 760);
over.fill();
}
stamp.close();
I just bought iText in Action hoping it would solve my problem, but it
doesn't look like its possible with iText. Any ideas or other tools to
use for doing this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Bailey
