Hi,
   I read that thread but I didn't find it informative. Given that iText 
loads a PDF
into a structured format, is it possible to analyse the text elements of 
that PDF?
And if so, it should be possible to replace those structured elements 
with new ones
with the appropriate visual settings?

It seems such a basic thing, but I understand PDF is rather prohibitive 
in this regard.

Best,
Darren
