Re: [iText-questions] Mac PDF Photoshop Image Alchemy plug-in XML and stack overflow
Leonard, I'm going to try and create a new PDF myself that I can send you that will replicate the problem we're seeing. Maybe tomorrow now - since I have a bunch of other production to-do's to handle today first.

I don't know about Image Alchemy, but many Mac OS applications will write such metadata into image files. I have not, however, seen that go into the PDF itself - UNLESS it is inside the image data. Can you provide a sample PDF demonstrating this? This causes iText to throw a stack overflow exception when it hits that page in the PDF. What do you mean hits that page? What specific API call in iText?

Re: [iText-questions] Mac PDF Photoshop Image Alchemy plug-in XML and stack overflow
Leonard, I posted a sample of the XML we're seeing to the bottom of the original msg here. It appears to be control code for the printer definitions. Stack overflow usually indicates some looping condition - and that XML has lots of child occurrences... We're using the streaming reader methods; not from the filesystem. We get a page at a time - that is how we know which page it's on when it throws the exception. Also - that page contains the image created by the Alchemy plug-in - and of course has the associated XML at that point. If I re-print the whole document using Adobe Reader 7 and CutePDF - then CutePDF creates a new PDF without the XML in it - and we are able to process that OK - that is why we are assuming the XML is the root cause of the problem.

Re: [iText-questions] Mac PDF Photoshop Image Alchemy plug-in XML and stack overflow
Leonard, OK - I'll trim out the surrounding chunk from the PDF and provide that. Unfortunately I cannot provide the actual PDF as it's a live production one - and I don't have the original SW that it was created in to build a sampler with - so yes - this is an exercise in sleuthing to try and narrow it down to probably cause. I can do some diagnostics / debugging if someone can help direct me toward that. I'll post something in the morning - its end of day for me here.
