I found this thread: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net/4608002.html
and this example: http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=270 but this code throws a "Unbalanced begin/end marked content operators." public MarkedContentTest() { try { System.out.println("starting test"); Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER); PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, System.out); writer.setTagged(); doc.open(); PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent(); doc.add(new Paragraph("this is page 1")); doc.newPage(); PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(EXISTING_PDF); PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1); Image backer = Image.getInstance(page); cb.beginMarkedContentSequence(new PdfName("backer")); cb.addImage(backer); cb.endMarkedContentSequence(); doc.newPage(); doc.add(new Paragraph("this is page 3")); doc.close(); System.out.println("finished"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } if I comment out "cb.endMarkedContentSequence();", it runs. Any hint on what I'm doing wrong? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Brown [mailto:kevin.br...@xportability.com] Sent: Wed 9/29/2010 4:28 PM To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [iText-questions] how would you do..... Or depending on the printer, you would use OMR marks to do all of this. For those that are not in this space, these are the several little lines that are normally placed down the side of a page in those bills and other things in your mailbox. There are printers that react in the process to specialty marks placed on the actual page to do things like paper-tray pulls, inserting pages, determining start and end of collations, etc. This type of technology has existed for many years and one would normally start with their print vendor to determine what machinery they have that is used for this.

Make sure your printer supports it - if not, find one that does - and then just generate it along with your PDF. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net 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/ ***This is a transmission from Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union (PEFCU) and is intended solely for its authorized recipient(s), and may contain information that is confidential and or legally privileged.
