Background: My current process is:
I create a PDF file on the server using PDFWriter in the first pass. I read it back in with PDFReader to make the second pass I use PDFStamper to add headers, etc. to the over layer, creating a new file in the process. I thought about trying to extend the Page event to get it done in one pass but, because of server restrictions which I won't go into, I can't do that. The Question: If PDFReader birngs the whole PDF into memory anyways, would it be better to have PDFWriter put out a ByteArrayOutputStream? Can PDFReader even pick up this type of output? If I have to do a conversion, there might not be a net advantage. And yes, I plan on coding both methods and monitoring the server as best I can to see which code package has the least impact under various conditions. Assuming PDFReader can bring in a ByteArrayOutputStream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
