About

iText is a prominent software library, founded in 2000 by Bruno Lowagie, specializing in the creation and manipulation of PDF files for Java and .NET environments. Its core offering, the open-source iText Core library, provides a powerful layout engine and intuitive high-level APIs for comprehensive document creation, manipulation, digital signing, and validation. Initially distributed under open-source licenses like MPL and LGPL, iText transitioned to the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPLv3) from version 5.0.0, while also offering a proprietary license through iText Software N.V. A fork of the earlier LGPL/MPL licensed version is actively maintained as the OpenPDF library. With a significant user base reflected by 5.5K reviews on GetApp, where it holds a 2.0 rating, iText offers a free trial for its solutions.
