You'll need PdfStamper for the output, PdfReader.getPageContent(), 
PdfReader.setPageContent() and PdfContentParser.

Subject: [iText-questions] Editing PDF Stream



Hi,

I will apologize up-front.  I am a complete newbie to iText and PDF files. 
The problem I am trying to solve is that I have a bunch of PDF files that 
are incorrectly formed.  They can be read and viewed by Adobe Reader 9, but 
not by our embedded PDF reader.  The error in the PDF file can be 
characterized by an "h" (close subpath) command immediately following an 
"ET" (end text) command in a stream.  Using a commercial PDF editor we can 
delete all of the "h" commands that immediately follow an "ET" command and 
our reader can read the documents.  The short term solution I am trying to 
implement is to remove any "h" commands immediately following the "ET" 
command programmatically.  Is iText the right tool for solving this problem? 
If not can anyone suggest another tool or approach to solving this problem?

Thanks,
Doug
