Feedback userguide/index.html

Any chance I can get more info or documentation or examples on how to use : org.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.ReplaceString

I am trying to replace some text on an existing pdf using C# and can't get the following to work.  It just hangs up on the doIt method.

org.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.ReplaceString rs = new org.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.ReplaceString();
            rs.doIt("C:\\test.pdf", "C:\\test.pdf", "Welcome", "Hello");

I was also wondering if there was anywhere else I could see coding examples in C# for PDFBox, I really like theses pdf functions and I have already exhausted your site for info.

Thank you

I'm no expert on PDFBox so I'm only guessing here... Could the problem
be that you're reading and writing to the same file?

If not, can you get a stack trace or something similar that would
point us to what is going wrong?

I'm not aware of any C# examples, but if you or anyone else would like
to contribute some we'd be very happy to include them on the PDFBox
web site.
