I can produce PDF files on the OS file system with no problems and they appear in the directory that I can read and write to from java or Oracle's UTL_FILE PLSQL package. I have placed my images in that directory and I they do not appear in the PDF file.
The idea of loading the images into the database has merit. I can do that. Also thanks for the idea of reading the default directory to see what is in it. I have been using the path I was told I could read/write to.

Otherwise you could just read them from oracle (BLOAD) and get the bytes: InputStream in = blob.getStream(); // or something like that byte []bytes=new byte[in.available()]; in.read(bytes); in.close(); Image image=Image.getInstance(bytes); Otherwise I agree that this is more of an oracle problem than iText. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
