AFAIK tooltips aren't supported in PdfGraphics2D. > Is there a way to add them again afterwards ? Yes, but you need to know the coordinates. I think you don't have that information. > I do know I can add tooltips in the PDF by using the Chunks, so I tried: > java.util.ArrayList chunks = document.getPageSize().getChunks(); Er... page size is a Rectangle. It's a set of 4 values: x1, y1, x2, y2. No Chunks there... > Is there something I am doing wrong (as a novice) - or can't it be done > anyway as I am using Graphics2D ? I repeat: I don't think it's implemented in PdfGraphics2D (but maybe I'm wrong). > If it cannot be done, is there any possibility to get the coordinates > (and sizes) of the objects in the PDF, and in that way add a tooltip ? No, it's not possible to "get the coordinates of the objects in the PDF". You have a better chance implementing tooltips in PdfGraphics2D. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
