Subject: [iText-questions] accessing hidden layer?
Hi everyone,
I'm using iText version 2.1.7. I want to highlight a label above a text field
in a 1 page document -- this document is provided to me so I have no control on
how it's created. I've tried everything that I can think of. I've also been
reading the first version of the book and am halfway through. So here's my
problem.
PdfContentByte over = stamp.getOverContent(1);
over.setColorFill( new Color (255, 255, 0) );
over.rectangle (x, y, width, height );
over.fill ();
This code draws the rectangle over my label so the label is no longer visible.
If I use, stamp.getUnderContent() instead, the rectangle gets drawn under my
form. It's as if there's a third layer to this form but I'm not sure how to
access it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been trying to do this for a
couple of days now.
Thanks,
Jan
Additional details: I have an empty textfield that's drawn on top of the label
and that's how I get co-ordinates of the label that I need to highlight. I've
tried the background option of the textfield as well, but that hides the label
again.
