Question relating to appending a PDF using iText 2006-09-07 - By Karl Nolan
Back
Hi, Is it possible to open a PDF document and append some text (or update
field) to the original PDF document. I see that there is loads of examples
of writing new PDF document using PdfWriter and adding a document using a
new Paragraph object.
I have tried to use;
PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
new FileOutputStream("HelloWorld.pdf", true));
using the append option in FileOutputStream (ie. append )
*FileOutputStream<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io
/FileOutputStream.html#FileOutputStream%28java.io.File,%20boolean%29>
*(File <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html> file,
boolean append)
but the api seems to ignore this.
I know I could create another pdf and then delete the previous one, and then
rename the new one to the original file name but this will take some time
which I'm not sure I will have in very big PDF documents.
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks Karl
