New error message is a sign of progress.... Ok, the jar is in path and itext.jar is being reference! New error is about font not being installed....
Helvetica not found as resource. (The *.afm files must exist as resources in the package com.lowagie.text.pdf.fonts) The Font is in the itext.jar for that co_pdf.jar is referencing....I am not a Red hat guy, but I am thinking that I need a UNIX person to get the font installed on server and we should be good to go? Well, that is what I am hoping. Anyone know of a good resource please let me know, but I think i am past the CF issues with this at this point. Thanks to all that have helped along the way.
