Hi,

I have a static PDF which is about 20 pages long.

Instead of typing 20 pages into the SPS is there a way to just embed the PDF and Stylevision would just read the text in it automatically or I can also reference the PDF if Stylevision can link to it and read the text and formatting from the PDF?

Regards,
Chaitanya

If I understand correctly what you want is an overlay of a static PDF file with a dynamically generated one.

Assuming this is really what you need AFAIK there is no easy way to this in stylevision; but there is a way to do it after the dynamic PDF has been generated.

If you want to follow this approach you can try using PDFBox:


I'm sure there are other libraries out there that do the same thing, PDFBox is just one I've already used before.

There is no way to do this using Stylevision.
