Bruno or Paulo...
Recently bought the iText in action book. Only have the eBook handy now
so looking forward to reading more in there.
I am new with iText, but have picked up a lot of knowledge through
practice code, example code on your site, and through googling.
I was originally trying to detect if a PDF had annotations via PdfReader
object and was successful at figuring out how to do this. Problem is,
now that I have the dictionary for a stamp, I can't seem to locate the
border, font, and fore/background color information for a stamp
annotation. Seem to be able to see everything else. Is this capability
implemented or would this be a feature enhancement?
I see in the raw PDF binary that such information is present. I'm not an
expert in being able to expand upon iText for my own private use to get
that info if the feature is not yet implemented. Still trying to figure
out how it is done. In pdfcopy, etc. you must read the raw stream or
something and don't worry about parsing or extracting bits of
information on annotations??
For the future...
It would be REALLY nice to use the PdfAnnotation or PdfAnnotationImpl
objects and be able to extract annotations from the PdfReader and return
them as PdfAnnotation objects. You can them do some get/set to them and
pass them back in writer.addAnnotation, etc.
If I could seriously learn more about how iText works underneath and how
PDF works, wouldn't mind helping out more in the future.
Thanks,
David
