The code you have is replacing the old content stream with the new PDPageContentStream. So what you describe is exactly what I'd expect. I don't know how to accomplish what you're trying to do though.
On a side note, make sure you always call PDDocument.load() in a try block and have doc.close() in the finally block. This will make sure your documents are always closed properly. ---- Thanks, Adam From: "T. Groch" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 11/10/2010 09:49 Subject: Re: Edit existing PDF Hi Adam, thank you for that tip. In the meantime I managed to get that List of PDPages, too. But when I change a PDPage it will be empty (except the text I put in it). Code: PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(fileFoo); PDDocumentCatalog cat = doc.getDocumentCatalog(); List list = cat.getAllPages(); PDPage page = (PDPage) list.get(0); PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD; PDPageContentStream cs = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page); cs.beginText(); cs.setFont(font, 10); cs.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 761); cs.drawString("Hans Wurst"); cs.endText(); cs.close(); doc.save("c:\\foo.pdf"); So, I have the String "Hans Wurst" on the first page, but the original content is gone. It's just a blank page with the string. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Tobias 2010/11/10 <[email protected]> > Getting the PDPage from a file is easy.
