Summarized: you want to create vector images NOT raster images. > I believe I use com.itextpdf.text.Image; Maybe OK, maybe not. What you want to do, is to create a PdfTemplate object. Then you want to draw lines, curves, shapes,... onto that PdfTemplate (using methods such as moveTo(), lineTo(), stroke(), arc(), rectangle(), and so on). Once you have a PdfTemplate object, you can add it to the PDF document directly, or you can wrap it inside a com.itextpdf.text.Image object. > Please advise how to put a simple rectangle into this class using Java.
