I am reading a pdf and updating the text of the pdf. It seems to work fine when I replace it with English word but when I replace it with Arabic word, it doesn't work.
In my case, the PdfObject
would always be of type Indirect
so dict.get(PdfName.CONTENTS).isArray()
would be false
in all cases
public static void manipulatePdf(String src, String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfDictionary dict = reader.getPageN(1);
PdfObject object = dict.getDirectObject(PdfName.CONTENTS);
if (object instanceof PRStream) {
PRStream stream = (PRStream) object;
byte[] data = PdfReader.getStreamBytes(stream);
String eredeti = "اختبارات";
String arabicWord = new String(eredeti.getBytes());
stream.setData(new String(data).replace("testing", arabicWord ).getBytes("ISO-8859-6"));
}
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest));
stamper.close();
reader.close();
}
