Actually I will port the library from C# (not Java) to C++ as I have experience in both languages and their memory management. I hope that I will produce a lower overhead DLL, but I will keep the list updated. I hope that I will succeed. Regards for your concerns Emad

That is, for many situations where flexibility matters, being able to reflection invoke is a big plus. While I have complained about efficiency, in both speed and size of the end documents features ( storing takes space, searching and scrolling can take a lot of time for niceties I don't personally often care about ), the itext apps probably aren't generally sensitive to a lot of things that c++ could offer. Of course, I would be curious to know where the resource hogs are in the itext java code if anyone cares to offer a sentence or two. Grepping the source code turns up a few instances of "slow" but sometimes increased memory usage ( for speedup of course ) can make things worse as it starts thrashing VM ( in java there isn't much you can do here except compact your objects, usually thought of as adding a compress/decompress layer that makes things slower etc). In terms of mechanics, normally java to C you can just about do with a text processing script. And, IIRC, there were some comments in pdftk about it being compiled to native code from java source.
