I was able to get it to work. I just have to fine tune where the text goes.
Here's my solution for anyone needing help in the future.
Thank you for your help!
If you have a moment, please let me know if there's a more efficient way to do
it.
`@SpringBootApplication
public class Pdfbox1Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
SpringApplication.run(Pdfbox1Application.class, args);
File file = new File("./i-90.pdf");
PDDocument document = null;
PDDocument doc = document .load(file);
PDPage page = doc.getPage(1);
PDPageContentStream.AppendMode appendContent;
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true);
doc.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true);
try {
contentStream.beginText();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
contentStream.setFont(PDType1Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 12);
contentStream.newLineAtOffset(25, 700);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
String text = "This is sample text";
// try {
// contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
// } catch (IOException e) {
// // TODO Auto-generated catch block
// e.printStackTrace();
// }
try {
contentStream.showText(text);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
contentStream.endText();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("content added");
try {
contentStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
doc.save("./newi-90.pdf");
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
doc.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
