Mark,
I was thinking it was you that suggested PDFStamper in append mode to retain
the original PDF structure.
It works great until .close. If I look at the new PDF just prior to close it
is Identical to the input PDF except the last couple K are not there. Then
after .cloes I get some differences. Sometimes it renders the PDF invalid in
Adobe.
I can send you some examples. Are there considerations for .flush and .close
related to using PdfStamper in append mode?
Thanks,
Bob

It might, but I can offer some assistence right now.
1) iText's PDF version is whatever you tell it to be. We don't do anything to
check which features might be used.
2) iText rewrites the entire PDF when it saves (unless you're using 'append'
mode, but files get big pretty fast that way). The objects are stored in a
hash map and written out in that order IIRC... pretty much "at random". We
make no effort to maintain the original object order (though it wouldn't be all
THAT hard... or would it? Hmm.)

Subject: [iText-questions] Fairly new to Itext
I have a large PDF that we convert to PostScript and process on a Xerox
Docutech.
I changed the process that creates the PDF to create it as a series of PDFs.
Then I used a JAVA / iText application to reassemble the PDFs with some
additional PDFs inserted.
The output PDF look fine, but will not process after being converted to
PostScript.
Looking in the PDFs the version going into Itext appears to be 1.2 and the
version coming out of iText appears to be 1.4.
The internal PDF structure appears to be radically changed.
I need a little guidance.
Would "The Book" be of help in resolving the problem.
Many thanks,
Bob Woolverton
