Let's say also that I have a list of words that I want in my index. Is there a way to scan the PDF page and detect which words are on which page? I could then append the index page at the end of the toc/body document already formed.
If the PDF is generated by iText and your text isn't hyphenated, it is possible to scan the content stream of a page. See the thread of this mailing list post: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/20964/ (Chapter 18 in the book ;-) )
But you can also create the index while you are creating the document if you 'tag' the Chunks containing the keywords in your list. There will be an example in chapter 4 of the book that uses the IndexEvents class to do this. http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/docs/com/lowagie/text/pdf/events/IndexEvents.html (I thought there was such an example in the tutorial, but I can't seem to find it.) br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
