Yes. > I have tried to add images as watermarks, that works very well. But how > about adding PDFs as background? Look for PdfImportedPage. It extends PdfTemplate. PdfTemplate can be wrapped in an Image, but it's not necessary to do so. Have a look at this example from chapter 14 of 'iText in Action' (available as eBook tomorrow): http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter14/SimpleLetter.java Note that in this example, the background is added to a layer that is shown on the screen, but not printed on paper. Just remove everything with not_printed (don't forget to remove beginLayer and endLayer too) br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
