Hi Bill, My question wasn't rhetorical. I've tried jpeg, gif, png and had issues with all. I even had the exact same distortion when trying to add a tiff at 72 dpi. So my question again is, when adding line art graphics via iText, what format and dpi should I recommend to my users? Bruno sent me an example with a logo I had at 450dpi jpg and it worked well, at 72dpi, the image needed to be converted to 110dpi which causes a size loss. So I'm just trying to find out what's 'best' to use.
