Hi!

I was wondering how it is possible to tag elements from outside iText (let's say by generating the pdf with TeX) in order to give the possibility to iText to retrieve the tagged elements and get their absolute position within the document.

Thanks a lot for your answer

Nadir


Hi,

Bruno I was exploring the PDFContentByte class.  Can you give little
more details on how its possible to do with tagged PDF.
More specifically I have FDF templates which I fill with data using
PDFStamper class. But In between or say in the last I have to
append/insert some table or plain text.


Some one told me if I have  some kind of tag, Then I can replace it with
table, which can automatically push the already existing text below and
above appropriately.



Thanks
Ashwani

Hi,

the data and create a pdf file. I have requirement to modify this


file  like adding additional data, inserting new paragraph, text etc.


Does Itext supports modifying the existing document?

I am using Itext 1.3


No, unless your PDF is Tagged, you won't find a tool that does this in

an acceptable way.
PDF was designed as a ReadOnly document format.
