I know DocBook, but I didn't understand why you were referring to it. It's irrelevant in the context of your question. > They start the page numbering with roman letters like (I, II, III, IV, ...). > They countinue on the chapters with arabian numbers (1,2,3,4, ..). That's irrelevant too. It's just a setting. > So my goal is to > - get the pdf made by docbook (made with fop). OK. > - parse the pdf and change the external links (to documents and graphics) > into annotations Not clear. External links in a PDF are already annotations (see ISO-32000-1 section 12.5.6.5 "Link Annotations"), so this requirement doesn't make any sense. > - finally I have to replace the external link with a internal link to the > annotated file This sounds like the use case explained on page 200 of "iText in Action - Second Edition." In that example, you have different documents with external links to each other. When concatenated, these remote goto links need to be changed into local goto links. As you're not referring to that example, it isn't clear if that's your requirement. > So I started to convert my pdf to something like the “kubrick box” sample, The fact that you do refer to the kubrick box sample is confusing. Suddenly you now start talking about creating a portable collection. If that's what you need, why are you talking about addTemplate()? > By facing the deadline I decided, to do a totally dirty way. I used the > “Layer” example, to get something working right now. Now when you mention "Layer", everybody is thinking about OCG, but after reading the code sample, I'm even more confused. Now it's no longer about concatenation documents, but about embedding files. If your previous question was as confusing as this one, I understand why you didn't get a good answer: it seems as if you're expecting volunteers to do a huge intellectual effort to understand your requirement. Usually, people don't do such an intellectual effort for free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
