I don't want to clutter the list but this is a cultural/etiquette question on
which everyone has an opinion. LOL.

Many on the list are busy and don't have time for clue, a one line answer is
probably
easier. But, several seemed upset when I would respond "grep the source code"
in the spirit of "teach a man to fish." My condolensces if you are using CF (
no
offense to Adobe, and Leo has convinced me many problems I had experienced as a
PDF
user were do to customers not the product itself) as it does have a lot of
quirks and personally
if you did know java I would suggest something like servlet for itext (
although writing your own
java server is not difficult either, and CF can talk to that too if you want to
offload stuff to it).
If you don't know java, and want to use java, sun has excellent resources and
google confined to
sun.com will usually find an answer. This even comes up on other "java" lists (
like j2me people who
don't know normal java )...

AFAIK the book is probably not intended to be a java book.

Sometimes that is all people have time to figure out if you can only outline
your
problem, sometimes that is all that seems apropos for free.
