In the PDF, this concept is last (as if the layers are flattened). Every iText layer is drawn one by one, starting with the getContentUnder layer. A PdfLayer is a PDF concept that is implemented in iText. These concepts are different, but you can probably combine them. For instance: if you want to define the drawing order of different objects in the same PdfLayer. >When is "iText in Action" coming out? > I have uploaded my Manning Marketing Questionnaire yesterday. I hear from marketing that they are thinking about November... (I didn't know it takes that long to publish a book.) I don't think they have reason to complain about the reviews. They addressed a complete new group of reviewers; all reviews were sent to me anonymously and this time some of the reviewers had never used iText before (also they don't know me; that seemed to be important to the publisher). All the reviews are very positive; of course there is always room for improvement, but no drastic changes are needed. best regards, Bruno **************************************************************************************** BENEFITFOCUS.COM CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic message is intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential and protected by law.
