Paulo, If I don't want to mess with the iText.jar, do you think the following would work:
define a class with the extact signature 'com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStringExt extends package com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfString', so that I can call constructor PdfStringExt(String value, String encoding) and create PdfOutline with the PdfString Object. Will the encoding be kept as I define in the PdfStringExt constructor in the after PdfOutline is closed? Thank you very much. --- Paulo Soares <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Some pdf processors are really brain-dead.
