If you would create the PDF from scratch, you'd use Chunk.setBackground: http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter04/FoxDogChunk1.java adding background color to an existing PDF with iText is also simple if you know the coordinates where you want to add color. The difficulty you are facing is that there are no free products that will be able to give you the coordinates of a specific word on a page. In other words: you could use iText to add a red, blue,... rectangle under some existing content, but you have no way of knowing WHERE to add those rectangles. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
