Stamps are annotations of which the appearance depends on the viewer. In other words: there's no "moveTo, lineTo, stroke,..." syntax in the PDF, there's only an annotation dictionary containing the coordinates for the stamp. If you want to flatten such annotations, you have to get the Annots from the page dictionary, get its coordinates, perform the necessary draw operations (you'll have to decide on the appearance of the stamp), and remove the annotation from the Annots. -- 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.
