Adobe Illustrator is NOT a PDF editor and should not be used as one. If you
are simply planning to place the PDF into Illustrator as part of another
graphic, that's fine.
Try using the lower level APIs in iText for graphic instead of going through
Graphics2D.
There is no trick to #3 - it is simply not possible. Photoshop will rasterize
ALL vector formats (AI, EPS, PDF) when opening them - it's how it works. If
you want curves/paths, then you need to write native .psd files.

Subject: [iText-questions] new pdf graphics file question
Hi,
I developed a computer graphics program (www.ananya.com)
that draws curves in a faster and easier way. I would like to
import and export pdf graphics files with other graphics
programs.
I have a new pdf graphics file question (question 1)), and
since I still have two unanswered pdf graphics file questions,
I post them again (questions 2) 3)):
1) Is it possible to write a pdf graphics file of curves so that
Adobe Illustrator recognizes it as a vector graphics file
(as curves)? It seems that both,createGraphics and
createGraphicsShapes, make a bitmap graphics file.
2) Is it possible to read the array of CubicCurve2D.Double's
and the stroke and fill information from a pdf graphics file of
curves?
3) What's the trick to make Adobe Photoshop open a pdf
graphics file of curves as a path? (It at least allows pasting
Illustrator curves as a path.)
Thanks in advance for any answers!
