As a matter of fact iText does this automatically. For instance: the following code adds the same image on two different pages: Image img = Image.getInstance(pathToImage); document.add(img); document.newPage(); document.add(img); Internally, the bits and bytes of the image are added only once. Of course, if you WANT the image to be added twice, you'd have to do it like this: Image img1 = Image.getInstance(pathToImage); document.add(img1); document.newPage(); Image img2 = Image.getInstance(pathToImage); document.add(img2); Here the bits and bytes are added twice because you are creating two different instances of the iText Image object. > I've read iText in action and the pdf-reference.

If you do it right (first code snippet), you don't have to worry about all this. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
