Thats not true. We can do better and the current development is developing towards a way that will do better. The key is that there is a definite API between the Area Tree and the Renderers. This means that we can prepare a page and later render its contents. All following pages can be rendered if they are finished. The forward reference resolution can be done in the area tree with the help of the layout managers and then the completed page can be rendered (depends if the renderer supports out of order which pdf does). If the memory gets low then a page can be stored to disk and retrieved when forward references are resolved. Without needing to handle this on two sides of the fence it is more straight forward and flexible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
