Good news,
More tests showed that android.graphics.pdf.PdfRenderer did not draw the
page background and if I remove all fill operations I get the desired
result!. I'll now try to determine the size of the path being filled. Btw I
keep getting a "BufferedOutputStream is closed" exception but the new file
is being created.
PDDocument doc = null;
try {
try {
int i = 0;
doc = PDDocument.load(new File(filename));
for (PDPage page : doc.getPages()) {
PDRectangle pageSize =
page.getMediaBox();
PDFStreamParser parser = new
PDFStreamParser(page);
parser.parse();
List<Object> tokens =
parser.getTokens();
List<Object> newTokens = new
ArrayList<Object>();
for (Object token : tokens) {
if (token instanceof Operator) {
Operator op = (Operator)token;
// remove fill operations
if (op.getName().equals("f")) {
// newTokens.remove(
newTokens.size() -1 );
Log.i("pdfbox",
op.getName());
continue;
}
}
newTokens.add(token);
}
PDStream newContents = new
PDStream(doc);
OutputStream out =
newContents.createOutputStream(COSName.FLATE_DECODE);
ContentStreamWriter writer = new
ContentStreamWriter(out);
writer.writeTokens(newTokens);
out.close();
page.setContents(newContents);
}
doc.save("/sdcard/VideoAssist/graphic/temp.pdf");
doc.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
