Using: iText v 5.4.3 - Jdk 1.7_u25 32bit I wonder how do I save pdf files with incremental updates.
Reading the PDF format specification v1.7, section 3.4.5 page 98 http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf Talks about "Incremental Updates." Read this section for more info. At the moment, I get a pdf template from server, fill in a few fields, and sign. Then reopen the document, and use the method: pdfStamperInstance.getAcroFields (). extractRevision ("SignatureFieldNameHere"); That gives me an InputStream. According to the documentation of iText, this inputStream is the revision of pdf document associated with the signature. I transfer this revision to the server. On the server, i want to add this revision in the same template and save. The class PdfStamper already has a constructor that seems pretty close to what I need: //From the iText API PdfStamper (PdfReader reader, OutputStream them, pdfVersion char, boolean append) Starts the process of adding extra content to an existing PDF document, possibly as a new revision. So i trying: - I create an instance of the PdfReader reading the pdf template - I create an instance of the above PdfStamper using the constructor: //outputFileFos is a FileOutputStream new PdfStamper (reader, outputFileFos, '\ 0', true); How i do append the revision on the stamper instance? -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/Pdf-Incremental-Updates-tp4659069.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
