The issue is that when i provide an area [width x Height] and some text to both Flex and Itext [ColumnText object] the results that i get are Different. So two APIs are giving results that are conflicting. I was wondering whether there is some kind of standardization.
I use Flex in my presentation/client side and Itext in the serverside to churn out PDF files. Since the text i show in the client could not be reproduced exactly in the PDF, i'm stuck. 1T3XT info wrote: > >> And? What is the problem?
