It is your ideal solution if you are looking to
- Leverage data, wherever it resides,
- Mass-generate compliant PDF documents,
- Reduce time and cost of document automation projects,

Why use iText DITO?
iText DITO is designed to be a scalable solution comprised of two parts; an intuitive front-end WYSIWYG designer and a powerful iText SDK. Together you have a template engine capable of generating a few hundred to a few hundred thousand PDF documents per day to meet any business needs. iText DITO can be used in combination with a database, to either extract data for processing or input information from your database into the documents automatically.
With iText DITO, data gathered through an HTML5 input form is converted to JSON format, for easy integration with existing IT resources. You can easily create an attractive subscription form being linked to a mailing database. The reverse is also possible - use a structured database to generate PDFs using iText DITO such as generating invoices, pay-slips, credit card statements, utility bills, and receipts, etc.
Enterprise grade
iText DITO is scalable, robust, capable of mass volume and ideal for large enterprise usage.
SDK/API
The iText DITO SDK gives developers the flexibility to integrate its functionality into existing processes and can be customized to meet your document workflow requirements.
It is available as either a native Java version, a command-line version, or a Docker image with a straightforward and programming language agnostic RESTful API for convenient deployment and scaling.
Fast and convenient
iText DITO reduces the time to develop templates. It makes both maintenance and updating of templates easier and faster.
