Insert Cover Page (2.0.0)
Hey there,
I want to add a cover page to a PDF, i.e. add a new *first* page to an
existing PDF.
I managed this with 1.8.0 by manipulating the page nodes via
PDPage#setParent, however I can't figure out how to do this with
2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.
Can anyone tell me how to insert a new page at index 0 for an existing PDF?
Perhaps subsequently adding an example to
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/pdmodel/
could help others?
Thanks Adam.

Heh heh, after having looked at the source code, I think this should
work fine. I thought there is some caching, but there isn't.

Once I have opened my document, set some metadata and inserted my
cover page, then I basically have something similar to this:
Iterator<PDPage> iterator = doc.getPages.iterator()
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
PDPage page = iterator.next();
addFooter(doc, page, regularFont, footerDetail)
}
private void addFooter(PDDocument doc, PDPage page, PDFont
regularFont, FooterDetail footerDetail) {
try(final PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true, true)) {
//various positioning, and calls to beginText, setFont, showText, endText
}
}

Hi,
glad it worked. I would be interested in how you add the footer to the page i.e. how do you do the iteration, how do you add the additional content. It's always good for us to get a better understanding of how PDFBox is actually used.

Hi,
I currently can't try it myself but
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(…)
PDPage pageToInsert = new PDPage();
PDPageTree pageTree = document.getPages();
COSDictionary pagesDictionary = (COSDictionary) document.getDocumentCatalog().getCOSObject().getDictionaryObject(COSName.PAGES);
COSArray kids = (COSArray) pagesDictionary.getDictionaryObject(COSName.KIDS);
kids.add(0,pageToInsert.getCOSObject());
pageToInsert.getCOSObject().setItem(COSName.PARENT, pagesDictionary);
pagesDictionary.setInt(COSName.COUNT, pagesDictionary.getInt(COSName.COUNT) + 1);
document.save(...);
document.close();

Yes, I'd guess that too.
Another possibility would be to add all PDPage elements to a new
PDDocument and save that one. However you would also have to handle meta
data and outlines and who knows what else.

Thanks,
I have implemented it using merge, but unfortunately that almost
doubles my processing time :-(
The steps my app takes:
1. I take a PDF of almost 2000 pages and add a footer to each page.
This takes about 12 seconds.
2. I then create a PDF which has my single cover page.
3. I merge the two PDFs together. This takes an additional 10 seconds.
I guess that if we had the ability to insert a page then it would be
much faster than a merge?
