See http://lowagie.com/iText -- start with the Tutorials in order to see how you can modify existing PDFs. There's also pdftk, which can "stamp" PDFs onto each others. It uses iText internally and provides a CLI. Also, there's the Multivalent Tools. Quite nice stuff, too. If you were more specific about what kind of texts you want to add, there might be other suggestions. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
