Yes, provided that: 1. you know the page number and the coordinates. 2. the new contents 'fits' into the available space. > If so, how do I copy the > section from one document, and how can I paste it into the other document? Using the copy/paste terminology, I fear you don't understand that PDF isn't a format for editing documents. Every character, line, word, image,... you see in a PDF document, is 'painted' on an exact position in a page. The document doesn't know anything about text structure (unless the PDF is tagged, or unless you buy expensive OCR software). All text structure is lost, so in PDF, it is impossible to 'copy a section.' > I hope that makes sense now. Your question doesn't make sense in PDF in general, not limited to iText. I believe the common answer to a question like this is a counter-question: "Why are you asking how to eat soup with a fork?" Hence the request to rephrase your question (and probably rethink your design). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
