iText is an ideal library for developers looking to enhance web- and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation.

iText is not an end-user tool.

Typically it won't be used it on Desktop applications as a person would use Acrobat or any other PDF application.

Rather, the developer will build iText into his own applications so that he can automate the PDF creation and manipulation process.

Here are some key features of "iText":

Usage:
· Serve PDF to a browser
· Generate dynamic documents from XML files or databases.
· Use PDF's many interactive features.
· Add bookmarks, page numbers, watermarks, etc.
· Split, concatenate, and manipulate PDF pages.
· Automate filling out of PDF forms.
· Add digital signatures to a PDF file.

Requirements:

· Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.5 or higher
· The BouncyCastle: bcprov, bcmail, and bctsp

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Removing unnecessary imports.
· Fix in PdfAnnotationsImp: You can't always assume that the PdfArray returned by get(PdfName.RECT) is of type PdfRectangle. It could just be a PdfArray object.
· Creating page events for PdfCopy or PdfSmartCopy doesn't make sense, so let's throw an exception when somebody tries to do so.
· Hyphenation wasn't friendly towards unknown characters.
· Fixed a NullPointerException in PdfAWriter.
