Hi - My ultimate goal is to be able to properly replace text and 'reflow' it - I know this isn't handled out of the box, but there are a few subproblems I am trying to first solve that would help me towards this goal. Also, my text reflowing does not need to be perfect! Just 'kind of work. I am doing my best to replicate what Acrobat does when you click 'Edit' text as my attempt, specifically:
A. Like in acrobat when a user clicks 'edit' pdf, it seems that contiguous areas of text are put together into a single editable textbox, and text reflows within this text box. Does PDFBOX (or other suggested libraries) have heuristics or other ideas on how to create these 'paragraph' like bounding boxes? B. Acrobat, for instance, will reflow and refit text naturally put inside of a Form Text Field. Does PDFBOX support form text fields (that presumably would fit/reflow the text inside of them?) and be able to 'flatten' it? Anyway - any suggestions are welcome - thanks a lot! Nick
