[iText-questions] writing document properties

[Johannes Stuermer]

Is it possible to populate the document properties of a PDF file if the PDF is only in memory? I am using iText with FOP, which saves the generated PDF to a stream (ByteArrayOutputStream outbuffer) and passed it on to iText via a PdfReader before it is Encrypted. Sample code below.

 

 

            PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(outbuffer.toByteArray());
             response.setContentType("application/pdf");
             PdfEncryptor.encrypt(reader, response.getOutputStream(), true, null, "PASSWORD", permissions);
             outbuffer.close();

 

I appreciate any suggestions. If possible I would like to avoid saving and loading the PDF to/from disk.

 

Thanks,

Johannes
