iText searches for the startxref in the last 1K of the file. See if the
array has the size of the PDF. A common problem is to get the blob from the
database as text and not as binary. Are you sure that if you get the PDF
from the database and then save it to a file it still opens?

Subject: [iText-questions] PdfReader error
I'm trying to take a pdf that I have stored in an oracle database and to
then use iText to alter the pdf then output it as stream to a web
client.
I'm trying to do this without using any files, only streams.
The problem I have is that although I appear to be getting the stream of
the
oracle blob; when I try to convert it to a byte[] I get this error:
java.io.IOException: PDF startxref not found.
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PRTokeniser.getStartxref(Unknown Source)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.readXref(Unknown Source)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.readPdf(Unknown Source)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.init(Unknown Source)
at Test.main(Test.java:197)
and these are the last few lines when I print the output of the pdf:
/CreationDate (D:20020506141920)
/Producer (Acrobat Distiller 4.05 for Windows)
/ModDate (D:20020506163216-04'00')

]
startxref
173
%%EOF
It looks to me as if this is the line its looking for but can't find for
some reason.
Does anyone have any ideas about this.
Thanks.
