Let me specify: you are using iText to scale pages in a PDF document, more specifically by taking the content stream of each page and applying a transformation. > But this final Pdf do not contain the text > box. The text box to which you are referring is an annotation. Annotations are NOT part of the content stream. You are not copying or scaling that text box. > If i use pdfCopy , then i will not be able to scale the pdf. That's documented in chapter 6: PdfCopy preserves the interactive content, PdfWriter doesn't. > Is my understanding correct ? I think that you assumed that annotations are part of the content stream of a page. If that's so, your understanding was wrong. > Is there any way i can achieve scaling and adding of form > fields. The annotations are in the /Annots entry of the page dictionary. You could try to fetch them, apply a transformation to the rectangle that defines their position, and copy them into the new document. > Similarly , some hidden fields are getting visible. I'm guessing that you aren't talking about fields (as fields aren't copied), but I assume that you are talking about OCGs? In any case: you are doing something complex, using code that assumes you're facing a simple task. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ 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/
