I think you are addressing the wrong people with your question. iText is about creating PDFs, about filling out PDF forms, about stamping content on PDFs,... In short: iText is about PDF documents where content usually is described using vector data. You are talking about images. To the human eye, you may think that the image contains text, but seen from the point of view of a machine, there are only pixels. What you need to do to convert the pixels into text is a process called OCR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition This is off-topic on the iText mailing-list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
