That would be achieved using page events: http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=114 The vector contents stored in logo.pdf is stored as a PdfImportedPage (the page variable) and added to each page in the onEndPage() method: writer.getDirectContentUnder().addTemplate(page, 0, 0); > say, in a hex pattern. What do you mean by hex pattern? I mean: I know what a hex pattern is, but I assume you have the complete background stored in logo.pdf. It demands much less processing power if the hex pattern has already been done. If not, you have to invoke getDirectContentUnder multiple times using different coordinates. Or you'd have to define a pattern color using the imported page and paint a rectangle corresponding with the page size using the pattern as paint. > Can iText do something like this? And if so, any tips on getting started? I'd start by looking at page events. I have no clue why Batik is mentioned. I don't see any reference to SVG in your question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
