[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-3316) Add comment to PDF

["Peter Pinnau (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3316?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16004644#comment-16004644 ] 

Peter Pinnau commented on PDFBOX-3316:
--------------------------------------

Is there a way to read such comments with PDFBox? I tried the PDFStreamParser but it seems to ignore % comments since they are not tokens.

I am searching for the possibility to identify content content streams which contain a certain comment and remove that streams from the document.

> For our application we use some comment texts (prepended by a %) to mark content and perform text replacement.
> We currently use the appendRawCommands() method to add these, but since this method has been marked as deprecated since version 2.0.
> Would it be possible to add some like a addComment() method to PDPageContentStream?
> The code would probably be something trivial like:
> public void addComment(String comment) {
>     output.write("%" + comment + "\n");
> }
