If you use PdfContentByte, you lose all interactivity as documented here: http://manning.com/lowagie2/samplechapter6.pdf You probably also make the false assumption that the coordinate of the lower-right corner equals x=0, y=0, which explains the blank pages. Furthermore, we had some bugs in older version of iText that weren't able to read some scanned images well (so you may need to upgrade if that's part of your problem). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
