I can't seem to find an example that fits my simple situation. All the
examples I have found for what I want use a pdfreader object and a
pdfstamper object
then they use .getUnderContent(); method and .getOverContent() method.
pdfreader from what I gather needs an existing pdf do I need to
convert
Does iText support PDF/A file creation?
Are there any code samples which show how this can be done?
I am currently using iText library version 2.1.17, which version of iText
supports pdf/a creation?

Matthias,
The book does have information,
Matthias,
The book does have information, particularly "Part 2 Manipulating Existing PDF
documents", and there are examples of how to concatenate them. If the
documents you are trying to merge already have Bookmarks and/or a table of
contents, you should be able to import this information and
Called Outlines in the PDF standard or Bookmarks in the UI.

Leonard,
ok thanks for this! I don't have the correct terms for it, but what I want to
achieve is this: If you view a pdf e.g. in acroread, you can show a
hierarchical structure of chapter, sections, etc. on the left side. You can
click on those to jump to a given chapter.
Tnx,
M

So you just want bookmarks NOT actual PDF structure (that's a completely
different thing in PDF)?
In that case, you can use iText to find the text and it's bounding rectangle
(using the content parser) and then use that as the destination for the newly
created bookmark.
Details in the book!
Yes, true, but for this I could convert the current pdf page into plain text
and do a regex.
It is sufficient for me to jump to the page when clicking on the structure tree
in the pdf reader.
I could also ask them to put the tags white on white, which isn't nice, but
still acceptable.
So what
[my bad, i didn't notice I took this conversation on the private side in my
previous email. back to the list now]
You might have a really hard time finding the chapter and sections marks
then, because of the very nature of PDF files. They are meant for data
presentation, not edition.
Cheers,
alex
Alexis,
thanks!
Actually I don't create those original PDFs myself, they come out of their own
reporting system. I want to concatenate them in sequence, and add them to the
table of contents / structure. That's why I want to look for some text that was
annotated for me, and use that as chapter

Hi all,
I've been working with IText for a long while (first time in 2004) and have
been content with concatenating PDF's into one, basically. For that reason I've
never had to buy the book as that application is pretty straight forward. Now
