That comes back to what you're trying to do. Since you haven't answered that question, I'll make a wild guess that you'll need to derive from the SplashOutputDev and define overrides for functions like startPage() and/or endPage() and maybe others. Note that the only record SplashOutputDev keeps of the document processing is a bitmap rendering. If you use or override SplashOutputDevHtmlImages or HtmlOutputDev, you'll have access to a little more meta-data such as position of elements or font list, etc.
Also note that with this approach, you're generating each page of the PDF three times, which is likely much less efficient than doing a second pass: reading and operating on XML files, but don't take my word for it -- try it for yourself. --josh On 10/24/11 6:52 PM, "Alec Taylor" <[email protected]> wrote: >Using the second-pass approach is still a possibility, I just wanted >to see if I could utilise a one pass approach. > >Do you have any ideas how I can get a function like this working? > >On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 9:21 AM, Josh Richardson <[email protected]> wrote: >> What are you trying to do?
