Layers (optional content) would be PERFECT for this job. When you author the PDF, as you are laying out the text, lay out an equivalent version with the background color of the chuck in yellow (or something).
Then just swap them as necessary using scripts in your buttons, bookmarks, etc. Leonard -----Original Message----- From: marlborino [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [iText-questions] highlighting text parts Hi all, I work with iText and I need to create a pdf which highlights some text parts dynamically. In detail, I've got a text which contains some interesting parts. I would highlight this parts after any event triggered, like a click over a button or a selection of a checkbox or anything else. In order to reach this goal I have thought to layers or bookmarks but I don't figure out how use these objects. I cannot use the layers because I cannot set the position of text manually as I cannot manage the layout of each text part (i.e. the new line). On the other hand, using bookmark I don't understand how make the highlight for the text aimed from the bookmark. Is it possible to make the highlight operation as I would? I was clear I hope. Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/highlighting-text-parts-tp4391121p4391121.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions iText(R) is a registered trademark of 1T3XT BVBA.
