Hello.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask these kinds of questions.
I've got a bunch of ready-made single-page PDF-files. (The templates) I
connect a PdfReader to each one of them and concatenate them into a
single PdfCopy. This results in a multi-page PDF where each page is an
instance from the template-files.
3-page example using 2 different templates:
Page 1 (template 1)
Page 2 (template 2)
Page 3 (template 1)
..And so on. So far so good.
Furthermore, the resulting PDF needs to have some text added to it in
different ways for every page. Currently I, as an iText newbie, are
doing it like this:
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, outputstream);
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
PdfContentByte cb = stamper.getOverContent(i);
Graphics2D g2d = cb.createGraphics(w, h);
g2d.drawString(text); //assume the text-variable here changes
between every loop
g2d.dispose()
}
stamper.close();
However, (and this is where things gets messed up) page 1 and 3 (who
uses the same template) get the same text written to them twice, one
piece of text put right on top of the other! It's as if I'm drawing on
the same Graphics2D-object multiple times, or as if getOverContent()
returns the same ContentByte for different pages.
What am I doing wrong here? How should I go about fixing this?
/Eric
