What I'm trying to do is create a PDF file from several "template" pdf
files.
The first few pages of the PDF file are generated texts (cover page, table
of content, etc), and then after that, I would need to append and edit from
other existing template (basically adding certain text at certain pixel).
I was able to do copy pages from several other pdf simply by doing this:
PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.addTemplate(page, 0.90f, 0, 0, 0.90f, 20, 50);
However, the requirement has now changed and I would need to edit the
imported page. Thus only PdfStamper would allow me to do this. If my design
is wrong, how should I do it?
Initially, I was trying to pass in the PdfWriter to PdfStamper, PdfStamper
takes an OutputStream instead.
Because of this, I tried to pass in the outputStream from where I created
the writer.
