By this you probably mean: will the content of the external file be converted to PDF? That's not embedding, that's converting: the original file is lost. iText can't convert Word docs or XLS to PDF, but it can convert txt, jpeg, jpeg2000, TIFF, gif, png, and other files to PDF. In some cases, the original bytes are conserved, in other cases, they are replaced by other bytes specific to PDF. You will see the same thing in the PDF as in the original file, but the bits and bytes will be different. > or it will come as one ICON on PDF and user has > to click on that to get the contents. That's typical when you EMBED external files. The external files are taken AS-IS and added to the PDF. There are different ways to do this. If you want them to be accessible through an icon, that's possible, but it's not necessary. All this is explained in the Wiki. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
