Hmm...there is nothing hard to understand about the sections I read. What was
difficult for me to understand, was the following implication that when I ask
the writer for an imported page, and then turned it into a picture, if I wanted
to write that picture to a PDF output I was stuck using that particular writer.
In other words, it is rather unclear (and still is) why the Image produced by
the following method:---------------------- static private Image
method1()
{
PdfWriter tmpWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(new Document(), new
MemoryStream());
PdfImportedPage page = tmpWriter.GetImportedPage(new
PdfReader("test.pdf"), 1);
Image image = Image.GetInstance(page);
return image;
}----------------------is somehow different to the Image produced by
this method. ---------------------- static private Image method1()
{
Image image = Image.GetInstance("image.jpg");
return image;
}
----------------------

No, I don't doubt that you and the others here would know more about this.
Hence I am asking on this mailing list.

If that is the case, it would be rather helpful to me if you could just tell me
straight up whether or not what I'm trying to do is impossible. Or is it just
that I'm taking the wrong approach.
