It also has to do a lot with Austrian law, so I would not be able to explain the purpose of my work in only a few sentences. Therefore, please try not to ask "why I want to know more about the tube". Anyway, we are evaluating different approaches for one and the same problem. So the other question Paulo answered, was concerning another approach (in fact the worst case approach). > If you don't know anything about PDF, that's not how you > should do it. I know I probably should not, but there is no other way to examine this one approach. Unfortunately I have not found any tutorial for PDF source coding or any other good source of information. And in the official reference I could not find an answer. So, I am getting back to the original example, this time step by step. Imagine there is the following dictionary object: 1 0 obj << ... /Contents (Blablabla) ... >> endobj Now I could reference the whole dictionary from another dictionary object like this: 2 0 obj << /Type /Annot ... /Contents 1 0 R ... >> endobj But instead of referencing the whole dictionary I only want to reference its Contents entry: 2 0 obj << /Type /Annot ... /Contents ??? ... >> endobj And the questions are: 1. Is this possible at all? 2. If possible, what would the line "/Contents ???" look like to do so? If you understand what I mean and know it, I suppose the answer is really simple. I hope this time it was more understandable. Thanks for your patience, Stefan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
