Here's a complete example. Note that if you wanted to keep the crop box in
the page you'd have to use PdfWriter.setCropBox(). This example makes the
page size the size of the crop box.
import java.io.*;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
public class import_pages {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Document document = null;
try {
PdfReader reader = new
PdfReader("e:\\fcdr\\downloads\\cmyk.pdf");
Rectangle psize = reader.getCropBox(1);
Rectangle media = new Rectangle(psize.width(), psize.height());
document = new Document(media, 50, 50, 50, 50);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("c:\\crops2.pdf"));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1);
page1.setBoundingBox(psize);
cb.addTemplate(page1, 1, 0, 0, 1, -psize.left(),
-psize.bottom());
document.close();
System.out.println("Finished.");
}
catch (Exception de) {
de.printStackTrace();
}
try {
document.close();
}
catch (Exception de) {
de.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
