Let me follow up later tonight on this question,   All that you asked for is easily possible.   I will put together and example for you.   And Yes, It is the OS version.   -Bill Ensley Bear Printing From: Aaron J Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 2:50 PM To: Bill Ensley Subject: Re: [iText-questions] JPedal undocumented goody I should've mentioned...I have to create them as JPEG's...do you see any issue with getting the "good quality" images you got with PNG....even "close"?   Thanks again, Aaron ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron J Weber To: Bill Ensley Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 5:45 PM Subject: Re: [iText-questions] JPedal undocumented goody Hey Bill, I realize this is a month later (sorry!)...   Quick questions for you: 1) Were you using the OS version of JPedal or which version? 2) Can you share some snippet of code/class/methods that I can try to create some (fairly big) thumbnails of some PDFs?  (I think this was either a topic of this thread, or very related...)  I need to create like a 400x500 thumbnail (call it a GIANT Thumbnail!) of the first page of each of my PDFs.   Any ideas, thoughts, code you can share??? Thanks in advance!   -Aaron   ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Ensley To: iText Mail Group Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 4:17 PM Subject: [iText-questions] JPedal undocumented goody 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.
