Re: Problem while copying PDF

The PDF I get for merging,  is built by a partner team, which uses iText. I
take a look into the JAR file they have deployed, and saw that they include
the links in their PDF as I mentioned, with PdfAction.

 

So the PDF I’ll receive for merging will have these kind of link that I
should preserve. And I’m losing them while merging.

Please stay on the mailing-list regarding the technical question.

Note that your question is still unclear.

In your initial question you say that you have existing PDF documents with
links and that you want to change these links upon merging.

Now you say:

I’m using PdfAction implemented like follows:

PdfAction link = PdfAction.gotoLocalPage(Integer.parseInt(number), new
PdfDestination(PdfDestination.XYZ, rect.getLeft(), rect.getTop(), 0),
writer2);

Then I use this link by calling PdfContentByte.setAction(…).


I don't understand what you mean. In this snippet you are creating links
from scratch.

Are you saying that your initial documents are actually documents you're
creating from scratch?
Why are you using gotoLocalPage() if you have two different PDF documents?
Please be more specific. Rephrase your question in a way that your mother
would understand it, not in a way that requires us to consult a crystal
ball.

If you're creating the TOC from scratch, then there's an example that more
or less explains your use case in chapter 7 of the book iText in action:

Depending on what you really need (but that's not clear), the merge examples
in the sandbox may also be helpful: http://itextpdf.com/sandbox/merge
