Just getting into iText - looks fantastic and I have the iText in
Action book which is great. Just one thing that I am trying to do that
I have struggled to find any examples of....

I have some PDFs that have some text outside of the normal A4 page
boundaries. I need to simple move the right margin out by a set amount
to show the text - doesn't matter that the document is no longer A4 as
it will never be printed.

I have managed to do what I need with the cpdf tool and the
-scale-to-fit parameter and I can now see the text... but I'm
struggling to do the same in iText. I did something similar to the
reader/copy/writer from the book setting new page size - but whatever
I set the page size to it seemed to be ignored and just took the A4
from the copied page. I also tried playing with stamper but couldn't
find a solution there either.

Any help much appreciated - I've wasted enough time on it already and
I'm sure this is pretty simple. Would prefer to use a nice java
library that I can embed in the application rather than have to buy
another tool that I have to call out to the command line with.

Regards
Steve
