Is there a way to return an com.lowagie.text.Element by a method which does not change the contents of my com.lowagie.text.Document if added to it?

(In other words for people searching the question via Google: An empty iText Element)

The question is kind of related to this one.

  • (1.) All classes in packages that mention my name (I am the Lowagie that originally created `com.lowagie.text.*` classes) are obsolete. You are using a version of iText that is no longer supported. It has technical as well as legal issues. (2.) Your question is unclear. You can create empty `Chunk`, `Phrase`,... elements, can't you? What is the problem with those empty elements? Did you try `VerticalPositionMark`? – Bruno Lowagie Sep 04 '15 at 06:43
  • I am using the LGPL version 2.1.7. I will have a look if Chunk or Phrase Elements do the job. Thanks for your kind reply. – Jakob Alexander Eichler Sep 04 '15 at 13:03
  • Talking about legal issues, it should be fine, if I mention that I used iText in my software credentials right? Visiting the iText website I even do not know how much a license would cost. – Jakob Alexander Eichler Sep 05 '15 at 10:38
  • Mentioning iText in the software credentials isn't sufficient. Please read the legal section of [The Best iText Questions on StackOverflow](http://pages.itextpdf.com/ebook-stackoverflow-questions.html) for more info (it's a free ebook). – Bruno Lowagie Sep 05 '15 at 11:03
