Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with overlaying PDFs using PDFBox 1.8.2.
I'm generating a ('Source') PDF via MS Word. When subsequently using the
'Overlay' class to place this source PDF onto another ('Stationery') PDF, the
resulting PDF doesn't appear to contain any of the contents of the 'Source' PDF
- it only appears to contain the content from the 'Stationery' PDF itself.
The issue only appears to be prevalent when the original MS Word document
contains header/footer content - my original 'Source' Word document contains a
header.
I'm including the following sample code to indicate how I'm using PDFBox to
overlay the PDFs. Note: The sample code is C# - I can reproduce the same
symptoms when using Java code.
PDDocument sourcePDF = PDDocument.load(@"C:\1work\Source.pdf");
PDDocument stationeryPDF =
PDDocument.load(@"C:\1work\Stationery.pdf");
// Overlay the stationery document over the main document...
Overlay pdfOverlay = new Overlay();
PDDocument outputPDF = pdfOverlay.overlay(sourcePDF, stationeryPDF);
// Save the document resulting from 'overlay'...
outputPDF.save(@"C:\1work\Output.pdf");
// Close the documents...
stationeryPDF.close();
sourcePDF.close();
outputPDF.close();
I've attached the two PDFs used in this sample.
Any help gratefully received,
Regards,
