Hi,
Any response to my email below? I've tried to as thorough as
possible. Do you require any more information from me?

> -- DATA --

> Please take a look at the attached html file. It is simply indicative

> list which in turn encloses another inner table.

> -- IMPLEMENTATION --
>
> Please take a look at the attached java file. This is a junit3 test
> case. When run it should produce /tmp/tmp.pdf and /tmp/tmp.rtf.
> Please modify output path if need be.
>
> Below I have provided the expected and actual outcomes of running the
> junit test case.
>
> -- EXPECTED OUTCOME --
>
> I have two expectations of this junit test case.
>
> 1. The PDF and RTF output should look the same broadly speaking.
> 2. The output of the two formats should look very similar to the html
> file being viewed in a browser.
>
> -- ACTUAL OUTCOME --
>
> Please have at hand the attached pdf and rtf files which have been
> written on my development workstation.
>
> 1. The PDF and RTF outputs look very different.
> 2a. The PDF is missing the inner table.
> 2b. The RTF output cannot really be described in a simple way except
> to say that it appears very broken indeed.
>
> To conclude the pdf and rtf formats being different and also being
> individually broken in different ways are critical problems for the
> commercial project I am working on. If it is me then I would be only
> too glad to be told the correct usage of the api. However, if it
> indeed, a problem with itext internals then I would be most grateful
> for your assistance.

> Under my rather tight project timescales I anxiously and eagerly await
> your reply and feedback.

> Many thanks.
