What I really want to accomplish is a simulation of what the <div> tag does in HTML, as I KNOW this will become a requirement as this project proceeds.
I think you will find that you can use ColumnText and PdfPTable to simulate the <div> tag just fine. You may also end up having to use a ContentByte as well for explicit placement, since a div can be used with CSS-P to do explicit positioning or even overlapping.
So far, I have been experimenting with extending the Rectangle class with limited results. I can get the extended class to render in the PDF, but my attempts to introduce a clipping path are being met with errors from Acrobat.
I think you may be misunderstanding what a clipping path is in Acrobat/PDF. Why do you think they are needed for this?
