Hi Bruno/Paulo,
I am working with Mark Hall and the RTF code.
In the iText Document class why is it not possible to add meta-data once the
document is opened? Is this a technical limitation or a specific design
limitation?
The reason I ask is in the RTF specification, it is possible to parse document
text before encountering document meta-data. With that in mind for parsing RTF
it is necessary to be able to write document content and/or meta-data at any
time while parsing an existing document.
Here is a valid RTF encoding of a document:
--------------Start Document----------------
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252 Text in header\line
\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\froman\fcharset0
Arial;}}
{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green255\blue255;\red255\green0\blue0;}
{\stylesheet
}
{\*\listtable
}
{\*\listoverridetable
}
Text before \\info group\line
{\info {\author Shank}}
\paperw11907\paperh16840\margl720\margr720\margt720\margb720
\pgwsxn11907\pghsxn16840
\marglsxn720\margrsxn720\margtsxn720\margbsxn720Testing a soft linebreak\line
here. With \f1 a different font and \cf2 colour.}
--------------End Document----------------
In line 1 there is "Text in header" with a soft line break.
In line 10 there is "Text before \info group" with a soft line break
In line 11 there is meta-data "Author = Shank".
The text from lines 1 and 10 would be included in the document text and
encountered before the meta-data element for the author.
The remaining text "Testing a soft linebreak\line here. With a different font
and colour." would be included in the doucment text.
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
Howard Shank
