OK. The difficulty I see in doing this is in mixing the graphics and text (and in particular, tables). From reading the tutorial, it looks like I not use the Document class, and instead should do the text layout using columns, as this allows me call get/setYLine and thus stop and start text around the graphics. My next question is then how to handle tables. Given that I'll be using absolute position, it sounds like I need to use PdfPTables. What concerns me is how to split PdfPTables across multiple pages where necessary. Presumably, I need to look at each row and call "getRowHeight" to determine what will fit on a page, and then call writeSelectedRows appropriately. Would it be worth me attempting to develop a patch to allow relative link co-ordinates? cheers, Paul _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
