If you don't want the image 'tiled' in the background, this could be yet another alternative: IF you know the size of the cell in advance (a big IF, I know), you can create a PdfTemplate with that size. Add the Image to the PdfTemplate, add the text on top of it. Now wrap the PdfTemplate inside an Image, and create a PdfPCell with that Image. Note that when I say 'wrap the template inside an Image', this doesn't mean the text will be rasterized. It means the content will be added as an XObject (a form XObject, not an Image XObject if you want the correct PDF Reference wording). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
