Re: Replace string in pdf
Posted by Lakshmi Kiran Nallam <la...@beyontecsolutions.com>.
Thank you Mr Tilman
I have an assignment to place a String in a unique place where its marked as
'S6' (This S6 is colour less so invisible). I need to place a string there.
Instead of this, is there any example to place a string at a certain position or
create a string in an existing pdf.
I understood that its impossible to replace, but by hook or cook I need a way.
Thanks you

Re: Replace string in pdf

There is no replacement. The reason is that it doesn't work most of the
time, because strings are not in one piece in a PDF. It may look like
this this:
[ (S) 3 (t) 2 (r) 4 (in) -1 (g) ] TJ
(not an exact example, but it should show the problem).
Place a string is easy if you want to create a new PDF, just look at the
PDPageContentStream.showText() method or at examples that us it.
If your work assignment is e.g. to replace "Readsoft" with "Lexmark"
everywhere in thousands existing PDF documents - forget it.
I wonder if we should create a FAQ entry about that.
