Thank you for your fast reply Bruno.
I still need a tip about how to do this:
> Use PdfWriter.getImportedPage and add the PdfImportedPage
> to the direct content
Here is a (really simplificated) sample code:
Document document = new Document();
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, resp.getOutputStream());
document.open();
/* do something with the document */
document.newPage();
/* here is where I need the last page of a PDF */
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("myPDF.pdf");
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfImportedPage page;
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, n);
/* and here is my problem: */
writer.??????
Can you help me please?
Cheers,
Marc.
