First of all I want to say that iText is amazing. When I first started playing around with PDF's in web applications I was using a PHP class. When I went to switch to Java to handle the PDF creation process I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a library like the PHP one I used. Well I was lucky, I found one a million times better.
Now to the question. I have a library of user submitted PDF's which can contain an infinite amount of pages & AcroFields. I'm using iText to grab the positions of these AcroFields. Now this is where ImageMagick comes into play, I'm using ImageMagick to generate images that will always be at 600px width (for consistency of this post) at 72 DPI. Now, from what I've read there are 72 points per inch, if I'm rendering the photo at 72 pixels per inch, then 1 pixel should equal 1 point. (If I'm wrong about this, please let me know). Now I'm outputting the positions of the AcroFields and the positions don't seem to match that well to pixels on the actual document. I'm guessing that my calculation is wrong. Another thing I'm a bit confused about is the rectangle coordinates. From my understanding it goes in the order of Left, Bottom, Right, and Top. Is this correct? I searched for something similar to what I'm looking for and nothing seemed to come up, if this has already been answered please let me know.
