Kris,
When accessing a static method, all you need to do is do the
createObject() call - this gives you access to the class (per se), if
you want an actual instance of the object, that would be when you call
init().
So in your case it would be:
fso = createobject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter).getInstance(document,
myPDF);
As you had originally written.
