I don't think this is a safe assumption. Back in February we had a situation where we generated about 60 PDFs (out of about 150) via iText that ended up being at least partially corrupted. The error was ultimately in our code, not iText. I don't recall if we had exceptions logged in the process. But my point is, don't assume that because you got output, it's "clean." ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
