Thus only PdfStamper would allow me to do this.
You don't need PdfStamper. You can still use cb after adding the template. for instance: PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1); PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent(); cb.addTemplate(page, 0.90f, 0, 0, 0.90f, 20, 50); cb.moveTo(20, 50); cb.lineTo(120, 150); cb.stroke(); will add a line on top of the added page. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
