Please read the documentation: the difference between getDirectContent() and getDirectContentUnder() is explained on many different places. http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/figures/10_05.jpg Also: if you'd read the documentation, you'd learn that it is not advised to use onStartPage to add content; content should be added in onEndPage, even if the content goes under the existing stuff. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
