Hi Scott,
The duplication can happen if the string has shadows or faux bold. Sometimes
these effects are achieved by adding the same text twice but with a very
slight offset/scale. So the text IS REALLY THERE IN THE PDF 2 TIMES, it only
APPEARS to be displayed once. In these cases iText does the right thing.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning

also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
