Is there any code to achieve that? I have bought the 2nd edition of itext in action, but seems some of the relevant chapters for this are not yet available, but I do need to do this as soon as possible. Any hints or suggestions (I will be using iTextSharp)?

If I zoom into the character it looks very precise, but zoomed out at 100% it looks very choppy and uneven. Ive read that this may be caused by the use of bitmap fonts instead of truetype ? Has anyone else had this problem before? Are there any workarounds ?

Since I have to sign the PDF with the user's private key and this is over the web, I can't use the methods described in the iTextSharp examples....or can I?

Maybe the examples on this page can help: http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=toc&id=15 Take a look at the examples from ExtractPageContent on (note that some of the examples in that chapter show how NOT to do it, but that is explained in the book of which you're still missing the chapter). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions End of iText-questions Digest, Vol 48, Issue 33 *********************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
