Time was a big issue. But also: why invent an iText DTD when there are standards? (But we lacked the time to implement the standards.) UJAC is supposed to be a better XML to PDF library (it's built on top of iText). There are probably some other products. Depending on why you are using XML to PDF, you may want to have a look at the PDF facelets in jBoss/SEAM (a totally different approach, but interesting and also with iText under the hood). > - Did anybody extend SAXiTextHandler already and wants to share his code and > experience?

I'd be interested, but: to do it properly, it will take a lot of iText knowledge. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
