In chapter 16 of the second edition of "iText in Action", such an image stream is replaced by another image stream. In theory, it would be possible to replace these objects by a Form XObject (PdfTemplate), but what makes it difficult, is that a Form XObject isn't just "one" object. A Form XObject also has a Resources dictionary referring to Font objects, other XObjects, etc... That makes it very difficult to achieve what you need. Just replacing the image stream won't be sufficient, you'll also have to copy every resource needed by the imported page and make sure the references are correct. This will demand a lot of extra programming. You'll have to evaluate if it's worth changing something that already works well into something that works better. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
