Thanks for the reply Leonard,

>Support for non-rectangular links is new to PDF 1.6.  
        Are you referring to 
                QuadPoints array        An array of 8 × n numbers specifying
the                                             coordinates of n
quadrilaterals in default                                       user space
that comprise the region in which                                       the
link should be activated.


>but it will only work with Acrobat/Reader 7.
        I can cope with that

Cheers

         Support for non-rectangular links is new to PDF 1.6.  So 
yes, you can now do that - but it will only work with Acrobat/Reader 7.

         I don't believe, however, that iText supports it yet.

         Never tried.
