[iText-questions] JPedal undocumented goody

[Bill Ensley]

Hello All! Yesterday I helped someone figure out how to get images from a PDF using JPedal and not turn out grainy.   After doing that I stuck around in JPedal and did some playing and found a neat trick that I wanted to pass on To this Mail Group.   As you know, JPedal can create a fairly passable preview image of a PDF, but with a little fiddling with the PdfDecoder class   I was able to add a method that will take any Graphics2D object and paint to it.  I passed in a iText PdfGraphics2D Object and   was pleasantly surprised how well the final PDF turned out.    Using Batik, I was also able to pass an SVGGraphics2D Object and convert a PDF into and SVG file.      I realize this has almost no relevance to iText, but I thought it was neat and wanted to share it.   If anyone want's the modified PdfDecoder for JPedal, I will happily send it along.
