I've created hundreds of thousands of PDFs using iText, and I've never ever seen this kind of behavior. Which version of iText are you using? Where does your input come from? (Which format?) Are you using page events? (Looks like the star is added in a page event.) Are you using VerticalPositionMark or DrawInterface? If this were an iText problem, I'm sure other users would have experienced it (and I would have heard about it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
