We are excited to announce the public release of iText pdf2Data 3.1, our document solution for intelligent data extraction.

iText 7.2.1 is the latest release of your favorite PDF library for Java and .NET, and the first scheduled maintenance release for iText 7.2. We are very excited to announce that pdfOffice, our add-on for high-quality native conversion of MS Office documents, now also supports Excel spreadsheets as input. When it comes to the iText 7 Core library, we’ve continued to improve on its SVG capabilities, as well as a number of other important improvements and bugfixes.

iText Software officially kicked off its inaugural episode of the Fireside Chat series of roundtable discussions late 2021. In Episode 1, iText hosted the discussion on meeting the growing demand in e-Signatures and Document Security as seen through the lens of C-level speakers from high-profile organizations. 

In case you have any concerns about the recent Log4j vulnerability, we can assure you that the iText Suite (5 & 7) are not affected by this issue. iText DITO might be falsely flagged as potentially affected, but we are happy to let you know it is not. Read on for more details.

iText was also named a runner-up in the “Low-Code Document Management Software Product of the Year” category with iText DITO, signifying iText’s recognition as an industry leader in the document management sector.

iText expands its iText 7 PDF library with their latest product, a Java add-on, allowing developers to programmatically convert documents and easily integrate with existing iText workflows.

iText DITO expands into Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS), furthering its mission to deliver a highly-performant solution for organizations to intelligently manage information, while also reducing developer workload.

In May 2021, a group of researchers at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) published an IEEE symposium paper on problems with certification signatures in PDF. The authors’ findings are summarized on the PDF Insecurity website. Since iText’s products are often used as part of digital signing workflows (including to create certification signatures), we felt compelled to comment. In this blog post, we’ll take you through some background on these new attacks, and explain what you can do about them.
