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...
