It would be nice to see a feature diff with itext.
- sgt 11y agoiText can be somewhat frustrating to work with, so it would be great if this is a viable alternative.
- vram22 11y agoIn what ways did you find it frustrating?
- ternaryoperator 11y agoReally? I've used iText for years. It is extensively documented both online and in the 600-page book from Manning and the guys who wrote the library answer questions on SO, most being answered in less than 24 hours. In addition, iText has both a high-level API and a low-level interface, so anything you can do in a PDF you can do with iText. I'd be hard-pressed to think what could be frustrating about it. That doesn't match my experience at all.
- roschdal 11y agoiText is very expensive when used in commercial products. It has a AGPL license, but costs for commercial use.
- eterm 11y agoThere is an older version still available under a less restrictive license, although it's not always easy to find.
- ternaryoperator 11y agoFor one thing, iText has both Java and .NET implementations. Also, iText also has excellent documentation (both online and third-party books) and the authors answer questions all the time on SO.
