a, b, c, d, e, and f are elements of the transformation matrix as explained in section 10.4.1 of 'iText in Action' (p313-316). They can be used to transform (scale, rotate, skew, translate) objects such as images, but not to clip them. If you want to clip an image, skip to section 11.3 titled 'Clipping Content' (p341-344) and you'll learn how to produce PDFs with images that are clipped like this: http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter11/results/template_clip.pdf http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter11/results/clipping_path.pdf There's some examples available somewhere on the net too, but as many people tell me from experience, you'll lose less time reading the book ;-) 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.
