[iText-questions] com.lowagie VS com.itextpdf
Hello all, I'm helping someone to get pdfs created with itext and we're having the following issue. We downloaded iText-5.0.5 jar file. I refer to the libs in my code with notation starting with import com.lowagie. But this notation doesn't work for him, instead he needs to use import com.itextpdf on his machine for files to compile. It bring up 2 questions: How could iText-5.0.5.jar could have these variations? I'm using import com.lowagie.text.Font lib for text formatting, but with import com.itextpdf path reference to import com.itextpdf.text.Font; fails miserably, we tried a veriety of things. But other references are fine, like import com.itextpdf.text.Document; or import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;. We need that Font lib. If anyone knows and could tell us how to reference .text.Font for com.itextpdf collection, we'll be deeply thankful. ~lw -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
