Hello!

You can find the original PDF file and the overlay PDF file here:

http://www.elisanet.fi/jakorasia/ANNA/doc.pdf (original PDF)
http://www.elisanet.fi/jakorasia/ANNA/wm.pdf (overlay file)

None of them is a PDFA file. They have many other errors beside the XRef streams, although these can be fixed.

Apparently there is another problem with overlays, Andreas just reopened a closed issue because of that.


They both have XRef streams and do not have parameter errors (according to 3-Heights™ PDF Validator Online Tool). They are based on version 1.5. The result file has parameter error so something strange happens during overlaying. As all the files are based on version 1.5, they should be allowed to have XRef streams which was introduced in version 1.5. Preflight can validate only PDF/A-1b which is based on version 1.4 so I can't use it to validate PDFs 1.5 fully.

However, your suggested code did the trick and now my PDF files are valid. I guess there is something wrong with XRef stream after overlaying. I will use your code as a workaround for now, so thank you for it :)

Yes, I was asking, if clickable hyperlinks in overlays will be possible in a future release (you would create a similar feature that I did)? I am just curious, if it is something that will/could be considered.

I can't answer that because I have no opinion, I've never used that overlay feature. I assume you mean transferring annotations that are in the overlay file. Isn't this something that can also be done by just adding the annotation to the page annotation list? What would happen if both pages have different sizes?

But feel free to share any code you have. We have committed many user suggestions, but not every suggestion gets committed. If it is refused or ignored, just keep trying and come back with more new ideas :-)

preflight has a similar error for 2.0 only:
1.4 : Trailer Syntax error, /XRef cross reference streams are not allowed


Please try this before saving:

        doc.getDocument().setIsXRefStream(false);
        COSDictionary trailer = doc.getDocument().getTrailer();
        trailer.removeItem(COSName.W);
        trailer.removeItem(COSName.DECODE_PARMS);
        trailer.removeItem(COSName.FILTER);
        trailer.removeItem(COSName.TYPE);
        trailer.removeItem(COSName.INDEX);
        trailer.removeItem(COSName.LENGTH);


About your other question - it is unclear. Are you asking whether Overlay will be available in the future? Or do you want us to create a feature like the one you did on your own?

Could you upload two documents, one good and one bad? I'll have a look with PDFDebugger to find out what's wrong.

Hi,

I am having trouble overlaying PDFs of version 1.5 (or higher) when using PDFBox 2.0.0-RC3. The result PDF has parameter error in it according to 3-Heights™ PDF Validator Online Tool. Overlaying PDFs of version 1.4 (PDF 1.4, PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b) works fine.

To reproduce:
1. Download pdfbox-app-2.0.0-RC3.jar
2. Overlay two PDF(/A) documents of version 1.5 (or higher)
/- java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.0-RC3.jar OverlayPDF doc.pdf wm.pdf -position foreground result.pdf/ 3. Validate result.pdf with a PDF validator (I used 3-Heights™ PDF Validator Online Tool)

The result of the validation is 'parameter error'. However, overlaying the exact same PDFs using pdfbox-app-1.8.11.jar works fine. Is there some regression in PDFBox 2.0.0-RC3 regarding overlaying PDFs of version > 1.4? I tested OverlayPDF//with many simple PDFs (version > 1.4) and all of them resulted in parameter error when using PDFBox 2.0.0-RC3.

I have also a question about making hyperlinks clickable in overlays. I am able to do it by modifying Overlay.java but I was wondering, if this feature will be available in some later release?

Best regards,
Anna
