One remark to the paragraph with eps. You should not use "Embedding PostScript" and "Encapsulated Postscript" like it was the same thing. These are two totally different things.
I know. There are probably a lot of similar errors in the tutorial. I'm counting on the readers to correct me ;-)
"Embedding PostScript" can be used to add stapling information (for printers able to do it) or printer version information (that appears on the printout) to the pdf file using embedded plain postscript. itext supports it via XObjects.
I'll also remove the final remark on this page, so that there's no confusion:
http://itext.sourceforge.net/tutorial/directcontent/#Postscript
"Encapsulated Postscript" is converted to plain pdf using itexts input filter.
I guess you know this but reading this paragraph seems to be not making it very clear imho.
There's always room for improvement.
With some more time I could write an extra paragraph pointing out the difference,
but for now I'm trying to have as many chapters completed as possible.
This is great. Would you think it could be a good idea to host tools as beanshell scripts at your itext site? We would be able then to implement a way of automatic download of additional scripts in the jnlp application for configurable sites hosting these scripts..
My initial idea was to provide a toolbox and then have people writing plugins
that could be called/downloaded from different sites, but that technology is
rather new to me. I see some extra things are needed to let a JWS app
read and write files from and to a local disk. I'll have to figure out what's
necessary (signing the jar etc...).
There are two ways to fix the *not working* file selector:
1) use the javax.jnlp.FileOpenService 2) sign your application and use <security> <all-permissions /> </security> in your jnlp file (to allow everything).
examples for 2):

Thank you very much for this
Thank YOU for the corrections and the pointers. I'll look into it as soon as I find the time (but my dayjob is calling, so it could take a while). br, Bruno
