Question

Can anyone help me out how to replace text with Image by using Apache PDFBOX ?

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageContentStream;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.graphics.image.PDImageXObject;
public class RubberImagePaste {
public void createPDFFromImage( String inputFile, String imagePath, String outputFile )
throws IOException
{
// the document
PDDocument doc = null;
try
{
doc = PDDocument.load( new File(inputFile) );
PDPage page = doc.getPage(0);
// createFromFile is the easiest way with an image file
// if you already have the image in a BufferedImage,
// call LosslessFactory.createFromImage() instead
PDImageXObject pdImage = PDImageXObject.createFromFile(imagePath, doc);
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true);
// contentStream.drawImage(ximage, 20, 20 );
// better method inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/a/22318681/535646
// reduce this value if the image is too large
float scale = 1f;
contentStream.drawImage(pdImage, 20, 20, pdImage.getWidth()*scale, pdImage.getHeight()*scale);
contentStream.close();
doc.save( outputFile );
}
finally
{
if( doc != null )
{
doc.close();
}
}
}
/**

public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
{
String documentFile = "D:/ABC.pdf";
String stampFile = "D:/Sign.png";
String outFile = "D:ABCnew.pdf";
new File("target/test-output").mkdirs();
String[] args1 = new String[] { documentFile, outFile, stampFile };
RubberImagePaste rubberStamp = new RubberImagePaste();
rubberStamp.createPDFFromImage( documentFile, stampFile, outFile);
}
/**

private void usage()

System.err.println( "Usage: java "+getClass().getName()+" <input-pdf> <output-pdf> <image-filename>" );
}
}
