Hi Fabrizio,
that makes sense now: related to Pdf graphic state - Pdf reference from Adobe.
I was only looking at the API for documentation, so I will look there for
more... no fuss
I am new to iText - I bought the book last month while looking for a Java
library on PDF,
and I learn as I go through a project of mine that needs to handle PDF at the
output.
There I have questions, but I am trying to solve first, then ask.
On the other hand it's very reassuring to have such a nice active community
here.
Searching the archives is most helpful (even not always exact) as other ideas
come up!
Thanks
George

PROTECTED]: Re: [iText-questions] Method Clarification neededHi George,save and
restoreState are related to Pdf graphic state (see Pdf reference from Adobe for
details).When you call a saveState, the current pdf graphic state is saved on a
stack. Than you can change it and, at the end, you can return to the previous
calling restoreState.Briefly the pdf graphic state contains many infos: fill
color, back color, linewith, transformation matrix (? I'm not sure...),
etc.Other guys (more expert) on this mailing list can explain more deeply.
