--------------------------------------------
Update, I have solved it by adding this line before drawing the string:
contentStream.appendRawCommands("0 Tr ");
> Layer Utility - Text not being displayed when overlaying

> Key: PDFBOX-4002
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4002
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Rendering
> Reporter: Vlad-Tudor Marchis
> Attachments: Overlayer.zip, base.pdf, out.pdf, overlay.pdf

> I've had some problems with the layer utility when trying to overlay two
> PDFs. Normally it works fine, but I've encountered a type of PDF file on
> which it doesn't work properly.
> Text elements are not being displayed (it can be selected, but it looks to be
> transparent), but images are.
> I've stripped down my code to the bare minimum and produced a maven project
> with a command line and provided some examples for the base, the overlay and
> the output I get.
> I've attached all below.
> The usage for the command line is as follows:
> java -jar Overlayer-1.0.jar -basePdf base.pdf -overlayPdf overlay.pdf -outPdf
> out.pdf -layerName overlay
> If I try to overlay the other way around, i.e. use the overlay.pdf in the
> -basePdf parameter and the base.pdf in the -overlayPdf parameter, it does do
> the overlaying, but obviously, that's not what I'm looking for.
> Any hints as to why this might not work, or any particularities about the
> base PDF that might be causing this to be behaving differently would be
> helpful.
