Paulo: Thanks for the advice...I am currently having trouble getting my
servlet that generates a JPEG to integrate with my iText servlet but I'm
still trying options before I post another request for help.
As far as the GIF's go, for now I've decided to stay away from them. But if
you know of a good "freeware" GIF editor that outputs GIF's that iText
likes, I would love to hear about it.
Thanks again,
Kenny
