No problem with that. I can read specs :)

Can you be more clear when you say "work at the lowest levels of iText"? The
problem I'm running into is that the javadocs are not very clear about how
to access portions of the PDF that I am interested in.

I can read a PDF. I can copy the page.

If fonts are embedded in the PDF, I'd like to get the Fonts used by the page
so I can create text strings using the same font. This is the part that I'm
not sure about.

And then draw those strings directly to the page - that's covered in the
tutorials.

thx

        You CAN do what you want with iText - BUT it requires you
have learn something....Sorry, there is no free ride here :(.

        And of the open source/free Java libraries, iText is the most
complete in terms of PDF manipulation.
