No, the only thing you have to look out for, is when you refer to directories (e.g. font directories) or when you have used file-paths to images or fonts (yes, you can use ttf's with iText even on a UNIX OS). These are things external to iText. Internally there should be no problem switching to other platforms. Occasionally, we get the remark that some things don't work on other JVM's but this is very rare and the problem was almost always narrowed down to bugs in some exotic JVM. > will there be any kind of change in the display of > PDF when i change the platform? Only if you have external issues, such as fonts that aren't found. If you stick to the internal fonts, there should be no problem. (The descriptions of the internal fonts are in the jar.) > The reason i am asking is we got an > application in java which uses itext.jar in windows OS.we are planning to > shift this application to linux environment.so we need to know whether the > itext.jar will work the same way in linux and windows. Yes, this has been done before without any problem (I develop on Windows and deploy on SUN Solaris; I never had any problem). br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
