Hello, In my application, I needed greater control over the rendering of text than the standard high-level iText API allows. For example, I had to support several line spacing modes, text wrapping around an arbitrary shape, etc.
To this end, I've been using low-level text processing classes such as BidiLine, PdfLine and PdfChunk (and also, PdfDocument.writeLineToContent()). As some of the required methods were protected or package-private, I had to declare one of my paragraph rendering classes as part of the com.lowagie.text.pdf package (luckily, the iText jar is not sealed). It works perfectly well, but one is always a bit reluctant to use non-public members, and I think the low-level iText API would benefit from the text processing tools being made public. Do you think that could be done in a future release? This part of the code seems to be already quite mature and of API-grade quality, so it could be a simple matter of changing access permissions. Of course, this is not at all an urgent request, just a suggestion ;) Best Regards, Damien Drix ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
