Hi Bruno, I'll start saying "Don't shoot the messenger" :) The DSS part of this was only additional info.
Note that the main question is that I produced this with iText 5.3.0. You will not find me as a registered customer of iText, as I'm not selling any software. I'm just a consultant. I'm creating the business for you, but I'm not your direct customer. I will read the linked document, thanks, and I will pass your message to the Commission. So what I hear you say is that the fact that 5.3.0 produces this result is not a bug, but a missing feature. Right? /Stefan On 12/20/12 8:59 AM, "Bruno Lowagie" <[email protected]> wrote: >On 20/12/2012 1:21, Stefan Santesson wrote: >> I want to report a suspected bug in iText > >Hello Stefan, >many integrators working for the EU are playing solo-slim.
