Adam, thanks for your answer. First, in my JAVA code, at the end of the method, I have put the doc.save() and doc.close() methods. So the document is correctly saved/updated and closed. My problem is not really an exception issue, because I don't have any exception.
In fact, I just don't know how to have access to the STREAM part of the COSObject/COSDictionnary. I don't know the way to change the stream content. I suppose that I can have access to the stream content when I have access to its container object, but i don't know how... I try to have a look at the Javadoc API but I didin't find the solution :(. In my JAVA code, with the line : COSDictionary iField = (COSDictionary)mkField.getDictionaryObject(cosName2); iField is supposed to be my COSObject/COSDictionnary that I want to modify the stream part. I checked it was the good object by printing it. But there is not method such as iField.setStream() Regars, 2010/8/24 <[email protected]> > The code you posted doesn't call any of the doc.save() methods.
