Thanks mkl and Kevin for your responses and direction. I'll start playing with the TextExtractionListener or RenderListener as I learn iText for this purpose. I'll keep it posted and share my hopefully successful result and put it back into the library.
Its not a work project (personal project) so progress might be slow as generally only part of the weekends and a night here and there. Thanks for your help. I'll post further questions, results here. kb On 7/18/12 7:28 AM, Kevin Day wrote: > mlk is right - you shouldn't have to do anything with PRTokeniser.
