Add text to existing PDF

Hi, I’m using Railo 4 the moment but considering step to Lucee. In both
engines I have the question how to add a line of text at a certain position
in an existing PDF. So I have a premade PDF (a giftcard) where I want to
add a unique generated code. Right now I am doing this via premade
PNG-imagefiles and then using some CFIMAGE and CFDOCUMENT magic. But can
this not be done directly in the PDF? Thx up front. Sebastiaan

Hi Sebastian,

I know this is possible using ACF and a PDF with form fields using CFPDF (
cfpdf Code Examples and CFML Documentation), however I don’t think Railo or Lucee have CFPDF.
You might be able to do it by invoking a third party PDF library, maybe
PDFBox (https://pdfbox.apache.org/) but without looking I’m not sure.

Kind regards,

Andrew
