well the GUI issue is moot for iText (as far as i'm concerned using it from coldfusion). iText code quality is pretty good & when its not there's a reasonable workaround (table vs pdfTable for instance). i think the api docs are actually better than many i've seen, as they actually often contain example code & some reasoning behind the way things work. though the docs do sometimes drop from that level of thoroughness. of course the peripheral stuff needs work (i'm having a hard time getting my head around the html to pdf stuff for instance) but i guess that will get fixed soon enough. and as far as i can tell you guys respond to issues & aren't actively discouraging folks from fixing things ;-) in comparison i've just got thru a project where we literally had to test everything in the api, we couldn't count on much of anything working or working as described (most of it actually did but enough didn't that we were forced to bug test this product class-by-class, method-by-method....oh joy). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
