For the PDF export, you use "core-renderer-R8pre1" and "itext-paulo-155" (and "tagsoup-1.1.3"). The problem is that "itext-paulo-155" is very old (last release in 2005) and he is not compatible with recent version of iText (use by JasperRepport for example). JMesa doesn't use directly "itext-paulo-155", but "core-renderer-R8pre1" does. So the change will probably affect an important part of the PDF export.

Actually it's work. The ask is an enhancement. iText-paulo-155 is based on iText version 1. Using itext-paulo-155 or iText V1 or the two at the same time works fine. But if we need iText V2, we can't use itext-paulo-155 or iText V1 (some functions have different names in the same file), so PDF export doesn't work.

We are also having issues with the PDF export out of the box. Even downgrading to itext-1.4.8.jar does not appear to resolve the issue with the charBox "method not found" exception.

Make sure that you do not have more than one jar file on your classpath. Also, you could try switching to the PDFP view...it is simpler looking, but seems to work a little better.

We are using "itext-paulo-155" and core-renderer-R8pre1"
(and "tagsoup-1.1.3") for jmesa PDF export and it works well . But I coded the pdf
export with out using Jmesa and just using Itext related classs using
"itext-paulo-155" jar file , not used Itext.jar at all . When i do export , i am
