Well how can i use pdfsmartcopy? I don't want to copy the page but I do have some images that get used over again. I made the header into a global function so it generates only once now but for other parts the information might be different but the image might be the same. So can i use pdfsmartcopy to insert images that might be the same.
or do i need to insert images to like a crc checker ? 1T3XT info wrote: > > FlyingBuzz wrote: >> Is there a way to make itext output the data into like a buffer stream >> and > > iText can write PDF syntax to any OutputStream; > for instance to a ByteArrayOutputStream. > >> when it finish it loads the buffer stream and compress it than and make a >> output stream of the compressed pdf? > > Compressing the content streams after the fact doesn't make > any sense, why not do it right away? > > What you could do, is check for duplicate stuff.
