Hello.

Thanks for your reply.

I've also found this related thread about the issue:
http://www.coderanch.com/t/637067/open-source/PDFBox-save

Do you know where I can find any example about the stream appearance
modification?

For my project, I have to use released software.
It's not extremely urgent because those comb fields are only a small part
of the application, but it would be nice to have at least a provisional
solution in a short term.


Regards,
