I've written this application using Jython to take multiple TIFF's in a
source directory and create a PDF document and then apply a TIFF as a
watermark.

The assembled PDF looks fine within Acrobat Pro, but when printing from
Acrobat under Windows to a file, the message "Flattening" apears and causes
the whole print process to crawl.  If I remove the setFillOpacity(.5), the
TIFF being applied as a watermark overlays the page, which is expected and
the printing message "Flattening" does not appear and the job RIP's to
PostScript very quickly.

The source PDF with the concatenated TIFF's prints fine also without the
overlay.  This problem only appears when using the setFillOpacity method.

Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

<Jython code>
        iTotalPages = reader.getNumberOfPages()
        
        # Creation of a document-object
        document = Document(PageSize.LETTER, 0, 0, 0, 0)
        writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
FileOutputStream(strPdfTemp))
        
        document.open()
        gs1 = PdfGState()
                        
        # Set the opacity to 50
        gs1.setFillOpacity(0.5)
                
        for i in range(iTotalPages):
                cb = writer.getDirectContent()                  
                cb.setGState(gs1)
                cb.addImage(watermark)
                        
                page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i+1)
                        
                cb.addTemplate(page, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)
                        
                document.newPage()
        document.close()

You need files that end in .pfb, .ttf or .otf.
