So the answers are 1) To understand how PDFReader works, I need to dig into the source files and attempt to learn the underpinnings of the iText code and JAVA. I hadn't planned on this since I am implementing iText from another language like a black box. I've only played with JAVA directly on a limited basis. Guess I'll have to dive in. 2) Disk I/O is Bad 3) PDFs are Bad. Not sure I have much choice since PDF is what the customer wants. 4) Empirical testing is the answer. Code both methods and test various conditions. If results are bad, dig deeper. I have limited access to the server but I'll see what tools are available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
