Who's using iText?
Two examples of companies that are using iText:
Ghent University is one of the first users of iText. They're still using iText
in many different applications. iText is used in combination with Eclipse/BIRT for
reporting; in combination with JasperReports for the creation of administrative documents.
The pure iText is used to create invoices, to fill out forms, to create transcripts of records,
and so on.
Every time I have to fill out my tax return forms, I am reminded of my business for more than one reason.
In Belgium, citizens can use Tax On Web, an application that allows them to send all the information required by the Belgian IRS to the appropriate tax office.
As the IRS already has plenty of information about us (obtained from our employer, obtained from our social security,...).
This information is presented in the form of PDF documents. These documents are created with iText.
