So, now I'm trying to get the Contents of a specific page (of an
existing PDF) so that I can possibly modify it during copy (with either
PdfCopy or PdfStamper hopefully).
I am missing a step, because I can't get the contents of the actual
/Contents stream. I've tried various scenarios similar to the following:
PdfDictionary dict = reader.getPageN(1);
PdfIndirectReference str =
dict.getAsIndirectObject(PdfName.CONTENTS);
String testcontent = str.toString();
But these typically just get the /Contents map (like the properties of
length and filter -- this particular one just returns the dictionary
entry number). Once I have the /Contents entry, how do I get its stream?
I also tried the simpler reader.getPageContents(), but that gets the raw
bytes, and I'm not sure how to parse/read them from there. Is there a
way to apply the designated filter to "decode" the bytes to something
more understandable, maybe? (I have only seen FlateDecode used so far
for filter.)
Thanks for any help pointing me in the right direction.
