I'm actually still interested in a solution to this because my workaround is creating significant unnecessary overhead.
I'll try to explain the problem again: 1) I want to stamp a particular page (I'm going to call this the source page) of a document with a piece of text in the bottom right hand corner. Problem: The stamp could be placed over the page's existing content Solution: Determine the size of the stamp and resize and re-position the page's content so that all of the content and the stamp appear on the page 2) To implement 1)'s solution I need to create a new page and get a template of the source page so I can resize and reposition it on the new page. I then add stamp to this new page. 3) I want to replace the source page with this new page Problem: I can't use PdfStamper.ReplacePage using the one reader on one document. It doesn't like it Solution: use PdfStamper.SelectPages Problem: When I use PdfStamper.SelectPages, the new pages are correctly selected BUT there is no content on the page except for the stamp that I added Solution: Close the pdfreader and pdfstamper. Re-open the pdfreader and pdfstamper and use pdfstamper.selectpages. This works. I hope that was more clear. Basically, I add a new page and add content using a pdftemplate. I then add some normal text to that new page. When I remove the page I used as a template from the document, the content from the new page also disappears. If I close the document before I remove the template the page, it works.
