I'm trying to replace text in PDF using iTextSharp dll but its not working in all cases. PDF document doesn't have acro fields.
If the text which I need to replace is bigger than original text its not printing all characters. Finding some special characters is also not working.
I have tried this code
using (PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(sourceFileName))
{
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
byte[] contentBytes = reader.GetPageContent(i);
string contentString = PdfEncodings.ConvertToString(contentBytes, PdfObject.TEXT_PDFDOCENCODING);
contentString = contentString.Replace("SOMETEXT", "NEWBIGGERTEXT");
reader.SetPageContent(i, PdfEncodings.ConvertToBytes(contentString, PdfObject.TEXT_PDFDOCENCODING));
}
new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(newFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)).Close();
}
Please let me know how this can be achieved.
