I am trying to grab either the text or stamp information from a pdf through
coldfusion. Right now I have a PDF with 3 Stamps and 1 Comment box. Each
stamp is composed of two elements. A text piece and a circle stamp with text
such as 2d0f. I am trying to get the stamp info. I am close, but I must be
missing something.
<cfscript>
//Load my PDF ( it has 1 comment, and 3 stamps. Each stamp has a text box
and a cirle with text)
reader =
CreateObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(expandPath("test.pdf"));
// PDF is just one page
pageDict = reader.getPageN(1);
pdfname = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName");
// Get Annotations
annots = pageDict.getAsArray(pdfname.ANNOTS);
iterator = annots.listIterator()>
</cfscript>
<!--- Now loop through the iterations --->
<cfloop condition="iterator.hasNext()">
<cfset annot = reader.getPdfObject(iterator.next())>
<cfset a = reader.getPdfObject(annot).toString()>
<cfset content = reader.getPdfObject(annot.get(pdfname.CONTENTS))>
<cfif not isNull(content)>
<cfoutput>
<!--- properly displays the comments from the pdf ---->
content=#reader.getPdfObject(annot.get(pdfname.CONTENTS))#
<p>
</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<cfdump var="#annot#">
<!--- I get 6 null objects. Which I am sure coincide with the
3 stamps made up with two parts each. It is my understanding that these are
POP-UP Notes but I cannot get their value --->
<cfoutput>
it was null
</cfoutput>
<p>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
