I have a requirement to place 1-bit, black and white images into my PDF
documents in such a way that the white pels/pixels are transparent. Today I am accomplishing this using AWT indexed color images and
specifiying transparency. The result is very large PDF. I would like
to include the image as 1-bit and still accomplish the transparency
that I require. Does someone know how to accomplish this? I would greatly appreciate any help or advice on how to do this.


I have used the iText raw image support with 8 bit and 1 bit image data but have not been able to figure out how to specify or use transparency.

The method I use today works but results in significanly larger PDF files because the result is PDF using the RGB color model. This
is extreme overkill when the image source is 1-bit (black and white) image data.


Thanks in advance,
Jerold Sampson
