If I figure out how to take into account the image co-ordinates, will I have to add anything to account for form fields and lines, shapes, & background drawings, and anything else in the PDF? I don't want to crop out _anything_, other than white space. For example, the ShowTextMargins example doesn't completely encapsulate the line under "Preface". http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part4/chapter15/margins.pdf example of a background drawing (i think) http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part1/chapter05/hero1.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
