That's basically true of vector data (e.g. proper fonts, lines, 
etc).  However udig doesn't render directly to PDF as far as I can 
tell (or maybe that's just the way I'm using it with 
ApplicationGIS.drawMap).  Instead udig renders to an image, and that 
image is then placed into a pdf document.  So your information about 
iText isn't really relevant in this case, I think.

In any case I see the same problem whether I'm rendering to pdf or to 
an image, but I suspect that's because under the hood I'm always 
really rendering to an image.

Vince.
