Hi Harakiri, I have got what you said. And i agree with you completely. I would not want my user to first open the attachment and then save it. The "Save As" functionality should have been there. But this is something that I may have to live with.
However, I still need some help! " I need a little help where instead of annotation's default image, i need to actually give the Image object, representing the "C:/word.jpg". I tried the following code instead --------------------------------------- one line code starts ------------------------------------------- annot = PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, testImage, "Images "+i, b, "", "Test.tiff"); --------------------------------------- one line code ends -------------------------------------------- instead of --------------------------------------- one line code starts ------------------------------------------- annot = PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, new Rectangle(300, i * 250, 300, i * 250), "Images "+i, b, "", "Test.tiff"); but could not get the desired result. Also, is there a better way of arranging the annotations instead of setting their x and y coordinates?" Please help if possible. I have been researching myself and keeping an eye on other posts but no avail.
