Paulo, One more comment: I don't add additional content to the PDF file. I do change the metadata, though. Is your comment below still valid in this case?

Assemble your pdf with PdfCopy and then modify the resulting pdf with PdfStamper.

I am looking for code that copies the content of file to another. The code also some changes to the content. This part of the code is omitted here for clarity. Here is the code as it uses iText: String str = "D:\\images\\jackets.pdf"; String fileName = "D:\\images\\jackets2.pdf"; com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader pdfReader = new com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader(str); pdfReader.consolidateNamedDestinations(); List bookmarks = com.lowagie.text.pdf.SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(pdfReader); if (bookmarks == null) System.out.println("No bookmarks"); else { System.out.println("There are " + bookmarks.size() + " bookmarks"); if (bookmarks.size() > 0) pdfWriter.setOutlines(bookmarks); } byte meta[] = pdfReader.getMetadata(); int n = pdfReader.getNumberOfPages(); System.out.println("number of pages " + n); // we retrieve the size of the first page com.lowagie.text.Rectangle psize = pdfReader.getPageSize(1); com.lowagie.text.Document document = new com.lowagie.text.Document(psize); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName); com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfCopy pdfWriter = new com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfCopy(document, fos); document.open(); for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) { com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage page = pdfWriter.getImportedPage(pdfReader, i); pdfWriter.addPage(page); } pdfWriter.setViewerPreferences(pdfWriter.PageModeUseThumbs); pdfWriter.setOutlines(com.lowagie.text.pdf.SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(pd fReader)); com.lowagie.text.pdf.PRAcroForm form = pdfReader.getAcroForm(); if (form != null) { pdfWriter.copyAcroForm(pdfReader); } --------------------------------------------------- // Some missing code here. pdfWriter.setXmpMetadata(meta); document.close(); pdfReader.close(); ------------ Eli Segev -----Original Message----- From: Antoine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 9:55 AM To: Segev, Eli Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [iText-questions] PDF Version How about *nix $ cp a.pdf b.pdf or windows copy a.pdf b.pdf I guess you will have to be a little more explicit about what you mean by "copy a PDF file". Why do you want to copy the file? Do you want the whole thing? Why not use std java methods? Do you want the pages only? Only some pages?
