Hi,
Thanks a lot for your quick answer, and sorry for not being clear at all...
>> using a DMS, I can have access to pdf contents of a file (not to the pdf
>> file).
>What do you mean by "contents"?
>The content stream without the resources?
>A raster image of the contents?
>The text that should be shown on a page?
>You should clarify.
this kind of pdf String (I think it's what is called the content stream?):
%PDF-1.4
%âãÏÓ
2 0 obj <</Length 74/Filter/FlateDecode>>stream
[...]
>> I want to add a cover page to this file. I can do that on A pdf
>> file, using PdfReader(fileName) and use PdfCopy and PdfStamper.
>Can you? That surprises me.
>First you say you don't have access to the file,

Sorry for introducing confusion. I'm just saying I did it on a
"regular" file for some simple tests, outside of the DMS.

Hopefully, things are now clearer!

So, I guess my question could be summed up with "is it possible to use
PdfReader from some pdf content stream,
and add a page on that String"?
Thanks again,
Best regards
