With ASP.NET, the instantiation of the objects will most likely occur in C#, in the code behind page. It almost seems like the best solution, excluding porting iText to C#, is a COM bridge. I found a couple of sites that seem to have solved this problem, for example J-Integra. I am playing with the trial version today. I keep running across Java libraries that I wish were available in C# (probably because my last company was a Java shop!), so this might be a worth while investment. Also, I have began porting iText to C# and have a simple "Hello world" example working. I used a Java-to-C# converter provided by Microsoft to get things started and some manual conversion. I will be sure to pass it along if I end up spending more time converting iText C#.
Thanks for info!

There's something you can try if you have Visual J++. Compile the jdk 1.1.x version that is in my site. It may work and it would be an immediate solution.
