iText is not TeX. In TeX you have operators to draw such formulas. In iText you have to draw everything yourself. the power2 in "x^2 + y^2" could be achieved with superscript (chapter 4), and there's probably a font with the V-shape to start the square root notation, but I think you're better of writing some custom code that draws the formula to a PdfTemplate and wrap this PdfTemplate in an Image (this won't convert the formula in a raster image, in this case Image is just the placeholder of a snippet of PDF syntax). Paulo has plans to create a new class replacing the old Graphic class that would make it easier to produce Graphics such as the equivalent of the <hr> tag and maybe also the square root sign. But he's still working on this. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
