itext - How to merge PDFs into a PDFA1b with watermarks using iText5 -
here need do:
- merge several pdf documents (which may or may not pdfa) 1 pdfa1b.
- add watermark (a simple text label) on each page of resulting pdf.
it has itext 5
i have looked @ official merging example: http://developers.itextpdf.com/examples/merging-pdf-documents/adding-cover-page-existing-pdf
but can method used create pdfa, , add watermarks? or stuck using other method says not use: http://developers.itextpdf.com/examples/merging-pdf-documents-itext5/how-not-merge-documents
you can create files conform pdf/a-1b pdf library including itext. pdf/a, in general, subset of iso 32000 (pdf) it's matter of using tool need files not adding forbidden pdf/a-1b (in case).
the thing aware of itext or of other libraries "support" pdf/a, will not prevent modifying pdf in way forbidden pdf/a... need know things are.
so... before merging, you'll want sure input files don't have annotations or form fields or other interactive content.
after merging, add watermark page content , sure xmp metadata conforming , should ok.
