Hi Mike,

The .jar is always built into the .ear for the application and deployed to
the server.

The original WL8 version used iText-1.4.7.jar.  I did not have to make any
significant code changes when I went from iText-1.4.7.jar to
iText-2.1.7.jar, while there were quite a few changes going to
iText-5.0.1.jar.  Since WL10 runs under Java 1.6, and the 5.0.1 version is
written in Java 5, I was hoping the Adobe 9 issues were resolved in
iText-5.0.1.jar.

I wish it was easier to narrow down the problem in the iText.jar.  Since no
errors are thrown and I have not been able to pinpoint the difference in the
documents I was hoping somebody had already experienced the problem.

Thanks...
S
