I have received a little difficult request from our customer.
What they want is followings;
They want that the thickness of all PDF lines which color is a specific color is changed.
For examples, a drawing (like AutoCAD dwg format) has three layer; All lines on the first layer is green, second is red and third is blue. When this drawing is converted to PDF, the thickness of all green lines must be 0.1mm, all red lines must be 0.2mm and all red lines must be 0.3mm.
I think that it is impossible or very difficult to change line properties directly in printing a drawing by PDF Printer driver.
Therefore, I am investigating whether it is possible to change the thickness of all lines with a specific color in the already created PDF file. I think that the starting point is PDFStamper and PDFContentsByte but I am wandering because my iText experience is short.
If it is impossible, I must find another method; for examples, convert PDF to PS and edit PostScript strings directly.
If you could take a few minutes to answer my questions, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your help and iText is the best!
Best regards,
S. H. Park
If I'm not wrong, it is easier ( and better ) to make an in-memory copy of the dwg file, make changes to the line properties there, and then print to PDF using iText. That is way better than searching for line properties in a PS or PDF stream. This will also enhance your software structure by allowing your dear customers to ask for more of such functionality, which could be handled in a separate module. You could then leave iText to do the printing. Nice way to keep the developer and clients happy ;-)
