Although I looked through a few different threads, I couldn't find anything that answered my exact problem (apologies if I missed something).
I am creating a PDF document that needs to support many images - upwards of 20 unique images. Generating the PDF takes ~1 second per image (my testing determined images are the bottleneck), which is a problem as I need to generate these PDFs dynamically, and this is just too long to wait :( ... Here is the code I am using for each image: image = Image.getInstance(url); image.setAbsolutePosition(left, top - depth); image.scaleAbsolute(width, depth); d.add(image); About half of the time per image is consumed by "image = Image.getInstance(url);" - unfortunately, I don't think there's an alternative here, however if anyone has a faster way of doing this, that'd be appreciated. However, the other time consumption is due to actually adding the images to the document - my question is if there's a way to speed up this step. Of course, if this is the best performance I can expect from iText, that would be great to know too, so that I can start looking into other PDF libraries.
