For Andrei,
To clarify the no put  using the "direct" route means use the plugin
to specify an output file path and file type. For example, specify a
temp file using the plugin.file.createTempFile and a file output type
of "pdf" should dump the pdf output to the file specified. No output
file is created (not even a file with zero bytes).
Yes I do download the lates tiText-2.1.0.jar in the jnlp. I also
looked for the use of iText anywhere else in the Servoy folders and if
any found replaced them also (I cannot remember if there is another
place).

Perhap's Patrick's access denied error is that he specifies a file on
the client machine that does have restricted access rights when the
plugin executes on the client? Perhaps he could specify a file that is
in a known (none-user) directory?

Andrei please tell us your interface when getting the successful pdf
output to file.

Regards
Tom
