Thanks again, I am getting the hang of it. Working with tokens (operators) is quite tedious. In my case a non stroking color operator is not enough, the color name is just an entry in the color space. I need to define (create) the space too.
Is there a way (read sample source code) to mix working with PD content streams and low-level parser streams? Like use high-level methods to create/copy a resource, get the change operators and insert them in another stream? Thank you.

I have identified the operator SetNonStrokingColorOperator but I think I am missing something. I have a pdf of sample Spot colours. I am loading it and reading all the colours from the ColorSpace resources. Then I must read an inputPDF (that has no spot colors - i.e. no resources in the color space). I must simply apply a given spot color to all the elements within the inputPDF. Then save it as outputPDF. Is there an example that does anything remotely similar to that? No... what you could do is about like this: - open both PDFs - get the spot color - add it to the destination PDF - remember the name (probably "cs1") - replace the old color setting with the new in the content stream - save so maybe in the old PDF, you find "0 g" / "0 0 0 rg", then replace that with the appropriate colorspace selection and then color selection, e.g. "cs1 cs 0 sc" . An example how to work with the content stream can be found in RemoveAllTexts.java in the source code download. If there is nothing, then include the two commands mentioned at the beginning. Tilman I am happy to pay for consultancy here.
