thanks for your help :-)
I still have some problems with these generated PDF's:
- is this opacity something of iText, or is it the responsability of JFreeChart and can I put it off with the iText API ?
- I can't find a way to make these 2 PDF's look the same with Acrobat Reader 6 (however, they look the same with Acrobat Reader 5 !!!) Is it a specific setting within the reader I have to change, or can I change some PDF settings with the iText API to accomplish this?
thanks, Maarten

There's nothing wrong. Only the text "serie 0" is really text, the other is composed of strokes (this is JfreeChart responsibility). The version 1.02b supports alpha blending in strokes. However, when opacity is present the viewer switches off line smoothing, That's why you see the text more blurred but if you magnify it you'll see that it's the same in both cases.

Hi,
I have a PDF document with a chart in it. The chart is generated by JFreeChart and is added to the document with the code below. With iText version 1.00, the resulting PDF looks excelent, but with iText 1.02b, the chart in the generated PDF doesn't look as good as with version 1.00 . More in specific, the displayed font in 1.02b is not as sharp as in version 1.00 .
I've put 2 generated PDF documents here: with iText 1.00: http://www.qmedit.com/temp/chart-1.00.pdf with iText 1.02b: http://www.qmedit.com/temp/chart-1.02b.pdf
any idea what could be wrong ?
thanks, Maarten
Here is the piece of code that adds the JFreeChart:
Document doc = ...; JFreeChart chart = ...;
DefaultFontMapper mapper = new DefaultFontMapper(); PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent(); PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate(width, height); Graphics2D g2 = tp.createGraphics(width, height, mapper); Rectangle2D r2D = new Rectangle2D.Float(0, 0, width, height);
chart.draw(g2, r2D); g2.dispose(); Image img = Image.getInstance(tp);
/*
* we put the graph in a table so it is automatically placed on
* a new page if it doesn't fit on the current one
*/
PdfPTable graphTable = new PdfPTable(1);
graphTable.setWidthPercentage(100);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(img);
cell.setBorderWidth(0);
graphTable.addCell(cell);
graphTable.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
doc.add(graphTable);
