Not sure I understand exactly what you want, but I create a PDF in
memory and then use
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#copyO
f(byte[], int)
to copy it and store the copy in the DB. You could flatten the original
after you make the copy.

Subject: [iText-questions] Generating duplicate PDFs
Hi
My requirement is to store a copy of the printed PDF in the DB in case a
duplicate is requested
later.
I will then have to edit some fields like the date etc and return this
to the user.
Neither copy should be editable by the time it gets to the user, so I
use "certificateStamp.setFormFlattening(true);"
Of course if I do that the first time I cannot edit it again myself
either, but if I don't then both are editable, even though I attempt to
flatten the form going back to the user.
We could store the data used to generate the PDF, but decided against
this because we may change the template as the years go by.
I've tried a few things and failed, is this possible with iText?
Regards,
Taariq
