Please help! Thanks.
This is not an iText related question. What you're asking for can be done without iText. You can open an InputStream/Reader reading the file, and write all the bytes to an OutputStream/Writer. (Typically, you'll use a FileInputStream/FileReader and a ServletOutputStream/PrintWriter). None of these classes are iText specific, they are part of the JDK. It's not even PDF specific: it's just a matter of serving bytes. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
