    Hi.

    It has been mentioned that compatibility with JRE 1.2.2 and 1.3.x is needed.

    Though I'm very curious about who's using these antiquities any more (except

    from Oracle 10g and some old Web browsers).

    There are people still using 1.1.6 with Lotus Domino and many more with 1.2.2 and 1.3.x. People don't change the JDK in production just because a new one is available.

    Excerpt from the Java printing tutorial:

    "In 1998, the SDK 1.2 advanced printing on the Java platform with the

    java.awt.print package by allowing applications to print all Java 2D

    graphics, which includes 2D graphics, text, and images.

    For the SDK version 1.3, the JobAttributes and PageAttributes classes were

    introduced to AWT printing so that client applications could specify the

    properties of a print job and the attributes of a page."

    So I propose the following:

    - the modifications in PdfContentByte and

    PdfGraphics2D seem to be 1.2.2 compatible.

    Ok.

    - the actual JPS implementation may be compiled and bundled with the rest

    through a separate Ant task, precedeed by the Java version check.

    Maybe. I would rather see your code than guessing on the options available for distribution.

    Best Regards,

    Paulo Soares

    Looking forward to an agreement,

    alexandru
