Subject: [iText-questions] itext, coldFusion, annotations and
Pop-Up Notes
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("t
est.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>
