Greg, thanks for the response.

Yes, we are using a Unix environment. I heard that the xvfb could cause some
loss of resolution when generating the image - not sure if it is true,
though. Actually, I am  trying to find out if the pdf library (iText, for
example) will need a display or not for generating the pdf.

Thanks again,

Tedi

What are you using to generate the PDF? I assume you are talking about a
Unix environment here?

We use xvfb (virtual frame buffer for X11) to generate gifs and jpegs on
our servers but we haven't use it for PDFs yet but it should work. You
should be able to update whatever display you are drawing the PDF to at
will... we do it with the gifs and jpegs.

Need more info please...

Greg.

Subject:  [jdjlist] Pdf generation in server (headless) environments


Hi guys,

   Does anyone know if pdf generation works in a headless environment, even
if I need to draw some barcode stuff in the generated pdf?

   TIA,

   Tedi
