PdfLayer

Doug James wrote:

Is it possible to use the high level objects such as Phrase, PdfPTable
within a layer? I tried using PdfPTable.writeSelectedRows() but it threw
some error about the table having no size, I am still looking into it.


Have you set the 'total width' of the table?
If not, that could be the problem.

When I create a new layer how does it fit into the 4 layers of a PDF
document? Does it add a new text layer?


I think you are refering to the getDirectContentUnder, graphics, text and getDirectContent layer
as described in the tutorial: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/directcontent/#pdfcontentbyte
That's an iText only concept. In the PDF, this concept is last (as if the layers are flattened).
Every iText layer is drawn one by one, starting with the getContentUnder layer.

A PdfLayer is a PDF concept that is implemented in iText.
These concepts are different, but you can probably combine them.
For instance: if you want to define the drawing order of different
objects in the same PdfLayer.

When is "iText in Action" coming out?

I have uploaded my Manning Marketing Questionnaire yesterday.
I hear from marketing that they are thinking about November...
(I didn't know it takes that long to publish a book.)
I don't think they have reason to complain about the reviews.
They addressed a complete new group of reviewers; all reviews
were sent to me anonymously and this time some of the reviewers
had never used iText before (also they don't know me; that seemed
to be important to the publisher). All the reviews are very positive;
of course there is always room for improvement, but no drastic
changes are needed.
best regards,
Bruno
