Who's using iText?
Two examples of companies that are using iText:

in a number of areas, including retail and wholesale fixed-line telephony services,
mobile communications services and broadband data and internet services.
Every month Belgacom produces many Terabytes of invoices in the PDF format. Belgacom developers chose iText because it was "faster than any competing product" and "the only product that allowed us to create a complex layout."
If you want to send something by mail with the United States Postal Service, you can
