Wouldn't it make more sense to improve/fix the embedded Reader?

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
