NEW RELEASES - Open source versions

 
     
 

Good news!

We've decided to make our iText 7 add-ons pdfHTML, pdfSweep, pdfInvoice and pdfDebug open source under the AGPL license - as was already in place for iText 7 Community.

We believe there's a lot of value in this for you in general. You’ll be able to develop proof of concepts and projects more quickly, by having the source code available to inspect in case you find an error.

Excited to get started?

Did you see us at one of these events?

In August, our iText-team was invited for a full day of talks and sessions about PDF, digital signatures and e-invoicing at the ETDA Conference (Bangkok, Thailand), view the event presentations here. In October, we attended JavaOne at San Francisco.

In November, we attended the Devoxx Belgium event (November 6-10, Antwerp), and the Software Craftmanship and Testing Belgium event (November 9-12, La Roche-En-Ardenne). At Devoxx, our Joris Schellekens (Developer) had a talk about how you can build your own photo-booth, and Michaël Demey discussed the impact of GDPR on your software product.
