    Resolution: Not a Problem

This is more a question than an issue.

It's always a good idea to neutralize the graphics state before adding new content, so that the current state can't influence the adding operation. See AddMessageToEachPage within the examples on ow to do that

> I used PDFBox to add text into existing PDF documents (kind of text stamping).
> For some pages of PDF, the space/gap between letters/characters of the text is much wider !
> I cannot explain how/why it happens ?!
> Sample of my code:
> contentStream.beginText();
> contentStream.setNonStrokingColor(colorText);
> contentStream.setFont(pdfFont, fontSize);
> contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(xText, yText);
> contentStream.drawString(messageStamp);
> contentStream.endText();
