Mike, I have to admit that the itext build structure is unusual. I have constructed a NetBeans project to build an earlier version, but I haven't checked that recently. I'll have another look, and if it works I'll send you the nbproject directory. In the meantime, you should be able to get it to compile if you realize what the build assumptions are. cd to the ant directory and have a look at .ant.properties. The properties are defined for a sibling directory of 'ant', or 'ant' itself. Make an itext/src directory, and unpack the tar or zip file in there. This will give you itext/src/ant, itext/src/com/... and itext/src/build.xml. The interesting targets are 'jar' and 'javadoc'. Assuming that you have an ant >= 1.6.2 in your PATH, $ ant -f ../build.xml jar $ ant -f ../build.xml javadoc Let me know if this works for you. Peter -- Peter B.
