Hi,
As part of a bigger application, I am trying to use PDFBox to combine a
separate XFDF file containing annotations with a PDF document. The result
should be a PDF document with annotations.
Unless I'm mistaken, PDFBox has no support for parsing XFDF annotations at this
time. Are there any plans to implement this?
In an attempt to implement it myself, I have been parsing the XFDF file to
create FDFAnnotation objects and then using those FDFAnnotation objects to
create PDAnnotation objects. So far so good. However, the FDFAnnotation class
and it's various subclasses for different annotations do not support the
attributes that are required for specific annotations.
A result of this is that I have to parse String input to PDFont and
PDColorspace objects (for example), and I can't discover how to do this.
For now, I have 3 questions:
* how do I create a PDFont object from (for example) "/Helvetica 18 Tf"
* how do I create a PDColorSpace object from (for example) "0.000 0.000 0.000
rg"
* What are your suggestions for continuing with my project. Continue
working on my own solution, or implement support for XFDF annotations in
PDFBox? Is anyone already working on this?
Any help is greatly appreciated :)
I'm not a XFDF expert, but did you ever give org.apache.pdfbox.tools.ImportXFDF
a try? Maybe that's the missing piece you are looking for ...
P.S.: You should use the current trunk due to some recent improvements trageting
that specific area.
