Paulo,
I tried this and it doesnt seem to work. The final PDF is the same
size as the original, I am no expert, but I dont see where the
PDFDictionary is tied back to the PdfSamper object. I am using
ItextSharp, but I did try it in java as well, with the same results.
Here is what I put together, no doubt I missed something..
Thanks for your time!
Dean Krueger
