Hi, Thanks for that will have a look at PdfContentByte.clip().
Removing the interactive features is exactly what I want to do, in fact this is vital to my app. Plus all I'm really concerned about is the content within the cropbox of the pdfs. Just so I know, should changing "bBox = readerInstance.Reader.GetPageSize(pageNumber)" To "bBox = readerInstance.Reader.GetCropBox(pageNumber);" work and just get the size of the cropbox, therefore I should just be able to get its content only?

You convert an A3 MediaBox with a less than A3 CropBox to an A4 MediaBox without a CropBox. Why? Wouldn't it be better to convert it to an A4 MediaBox and a less than A4 CropBox? > Surly this is not an unusual task? Your design is flawed. As soon as you have interactive features in the PDF you're trying to resize, you'll find out that they won't work as expected. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ No virus found in this incoming message.
