Thanks for the response.  I tried clipping, but for some reason, I can place a part of the pdf from another file where ever I want in the new pdf, but only the very botton left corner.   Here is an example of what I am doing         PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();       int pagei = i; //for page i       PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, pagei);         PdfTemplate template = cb.createTemplate(100, 100);  //size of section to add         //want to grab a square from pdf 1 and place in exact same spot on pdf2                               page1.moveTo(50,50);       page1.rectangle(50,50,150,150);       page1.clip();       page1.newPath();                                                       template.addTemplate(page1,0,0); //          template.rectangle(50,50,150,150); //          template.moveTo(50,50); //          template.clip(); //          template.newPath();         cb.addTemplate(template,50,50);   //where you want it to appear, absolute position     Any help  would be appreciated.   Thanks David     -----Original Message----- From: Paulo Soares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 5:30 AM To: David Capredoni; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Select a area from one pdf and put in another   You must always place the complete page but you can define a clipping area to show only some parts of the page.   Best Regards, Paulo Soares   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Capredoni Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 8:02 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [iText-questions] Select a area from one pdf and put in another Hi   Does anyone know how to select an area (rectangle in a page) from one pdf file and place it at a certain location in a new pdf file.   Thanks
