What I would like to ask: If PdfPTable is so much superior to Table, why include the latter at all anymore? I mean, it seems about 30% of the time the answer to questions on the list is "use PdfPTable". If there still is any point to Tables, it would be a very good idea to make it much more clear in the documentation / tutorial when to use either... It must be admitted that when someone tries to use a table for the first time, they can hardly be blamed for using something called "Table" over something called "PdfPTable"... thanks for a nice toolkit, Dirk. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Yes, that's right. I will take a week off to make release 1.1 in november or december. The official iText1.1 will be the same as the experimental version at that moment.

Re: [iText-questions] Future of iText
Hi, I am looking for options in creating pdfs in our corporate web apps. I got to do small bits for now with iText. However, I want to know when the production version will be released as I see status as 4/5 on sourceforge. Also, has anybody put this library already on production?

Re: [iText-questions] Future of iText
Paulo is doing the most part of new development. He releases an itext-paulo version much more often than Bruno releases an official iText version, but every official iText version AFAIK rolls up the latest of Paulo's work.

[iText-questions] Future of iText
Could someone (Paulo or Bruno) comment on the expected future path of iText development. I'm not clear about the intent of having the two different versions (itext.sourceforge.net and itextpdf.sourceforge.net). Is it the intent for Paulo's experimental version to become the main version eventually? Are bugfixes or new features pursued on both branches or is the one at itext.sourceforge.net frozen? Who has commit rights for each of these source trees and how are bug fixes typically submitted? I poked around both of these SourceForge sites and didn't seem much information on this.

[iText-questions] Future of iText
Hi, I'm using iText and it works fine. I'd like to know the future of iText. Is there any plan that iText is going to support; - right to left direction writing? - top to bottom direction writing for CJK languages? - embeding OpneType with PS glyph? (not TrueType glyph) (I want to embed special font that TrueType does not have) - way of input for special character that UNICODE does not hava its code but CID or OpenType have one - any other multi-ligual feature?
