iText does not need a display to generate PDFs.  We have used it in a
servlet to generate forms for us before and it works great.

Greg, thanks for the response.

Yes, we are using a Unix environment. I heard that the xvfb could cause some
loss of resolution when generating the image - not sure if it is true,
though. Actually, I am  trying to find out if the pdf library (iText, for
example) will need a display or not for generating the pdf.

Thanks again,

Tedi
