> Subject: [iText-questions] Adding an action to an existing PDF
>
> Hi,
>
> I'm trying to read in an existing PDF and add an action to it, but I
> can't seem to figure out how to make the action work.
>
> I've tried adding the action to the over content, or the
> under content -
> but no luck.
>
> I've tried adding an action to an embedded file (the kind of action I
> really need) or an action to an URL (just to see if that
> could work) and
> still no luck.
>
> I've even tried upgrading from iText 2.0.8 to 2.1.3 and still no luck.
>
> I don't get any kind of cursor change (like to a hand) and nothing
> happens when I click inside the rectangle that I drew to make
> it easier
> to find the action area.
>
> Any help is much appreciated.
>
> Here's my code:
>
>
> public void testAction() throws Exception
> {
> // prepare the output document with the cover sheet
> Document pdfDoc = new Document();
> PdfCopy writer = new PdfCopy(pdfDoc, new
> FileOutputStream("content/pdf/actionTest_out.pdf"));
>
> pdfDoc.open();
>
> // Set the coversheet in the output document
> PdfReader reader = new
> PdfReader("content/pdf/coversheet.pdf");
> int pageCount = reader.getNumberOfPages();
>
> for (int pageNumber = 1; pageNumber <= pageCount;
> pageNumber++)
> {
> PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader,
> pageNumber);
>
> // Add a link on the first page of the coversheet
> if (pageNumber == 1)
> {
> PdfCopy.PageStamp ps = writer.createPageStamp(page);
> PdfContentByte content = ps.getOverContent();
> PdfAction action = new
> PdfAction("http://www.lowagie.com";);
> Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(210, 310, 320, 330);
>
> // Draw a rectangle around the action so we
> can find it
> easier
> rect.setBorderColor(Color.black);
> rect.setBorderWidth(1);
> rect.setBorder(Rectangle.BOX);
> content.rectangle(rect);
> content.setAction(action, rect.getLeft(),
> rect.getBottom(), rect.getRight(), rect.getTop());
> ps.alterContents();
> }
>
> writer.addPage(page);
> }
>
> pdfDoc.close();
> }
