Watermark

[sagar priyadarshi]

Dear all.

I am successfully using JODConverter and very happy with the
performance of it.
In a further step, I want watermark (or pdf stamp) to be there on each
page of pdf generated.

Seems that it is not possible through OpenOffice and hence not
possible through JODConverter.
Let me know If I am mistaken.

Is there any other way to meet my requirement.
Of course I am looking some tools/libraries from open source.

I found itext meeting my requirement but that does not come free and I
am not willing to use trial version

Hi Sagar,
To watermark or stamp, a good opensource solution is pdfbox and u can use Overlay to do your stamping. Please check it out at pdfbox.org.

Hi Richard
Thanks for the reply
I tried downloading the same (pdfbox-1.5.0.jar) and tried running in
on terminal
But I am getting error as

"Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
pdfbox-1.5.0.jar"

Am i using the correct jar file? Or is there any other problem?

Hi Sagar,
I have never used it on command line. Most of the times I use it in a Java program code. Please send me the command you are trying to run and let me see how I can help.

Hi Sagar,
It works from this side. I am running Ubuntu 10.10. What about you? This is the command I ran. "java -jar pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar Overlay VB\ document.pdf root.pdf result.pdf" Where "VB Document.pdf" is the document I want to stamp with "root.pdf", "result.pdf" is the resulting stamped document. If you are doing this on windows you have to make sure that the java path has been set because this could be the problem.

And at the same time, can you let me know how to use overlay feature
in java program using pdfbox?
Even that will solve my problem.

Thanks

Hi,
That is very great. That is now the area I am better at. I will send you a code to show you how it is done. Which Java IDE are you comfortable with?

Hi Richard
Thanks for continuous replies.

I am using Netbeans6.9.1. Kindly let me know how to write java code
for overlay features

[Richard Gathogo]

Hi Sagar,
You are welcome. I have a attached a project in netbeans to demonstrate the pdfbox overlay functionality in Java.  Gmail  cannot allow me to send the project with it's dependencies and since I would like this to benefit many people I will don't want to deviate from the forum. Download commons-logging-1.1.1.jar, fontbox-1.4.0.jar and pdfbox-1.4.0.jar and add to the lib directory inside the project before running it. Feel free to ask any question in case of any issue that you may encounter.
