Hi ,
I am reading PDF documents with layers. The PDF I am talking about is created
with adobe illustrator. All I want to do is read the layers from the
PDF documents and switch the layers on/ off time to time. I know there is a
function called getPdfLayers() layers which suppose to return a map but
is not working. I tried many other ways to work it out but always got an error
like "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PRIndirectReference cannot be cast to
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfDictionary". I tried to find the answer but no didn't
get any. Here is my code . is there any way I can do the job what I intended.
I will really appreciate the if there is any work around.
Sincerely
Kabir
