Look closer: you can select Med ID in one PDF but not in the other. Seems like the glyphs were added using a font in one PDF, but as shapes in the other. This would explain the difference in size, and the bad rendering when printed on a low-resolution device. If I'm right, this is not a problem caused by iText; this is a problem caused by bad use of iText. Back to the OP: why are you adding those glyphs as shapes? As far as I know, that's something you have to do deliberately; iText never chooses to add glyphs as shapes on its own. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
