Resize Existing Layers or DrawBox

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
I try to merge one pdf created by Word Office, but it adds a white background layer ( like it is done with the drawbox function (quickpdf)).
I need to merge this pdf with another pdf, but the second pdf is masked by this white area.
I used : (it removes the white layer)
           qp.SplitPageText(0);
           qp.SelectContentStream(0);
           qp.DeleteContentStream();
But these lines remove all images.

          Iwant a result like  qp.SetCropBox does but it doesn't works when the pdf is merged with another pdf.

Is there a solution to resize, delete this kind of layer. (setTransparency doesn't work in this case)
Cheers,
Jim

	Jim, Unfortunately this PDF draws a white rectangle before drawing and content. You would need to manually extract and delete this rectangle from the content stream which is not always an easy or simple task. Andrew.
