About this Book

This book will teach you about PDF, Adobe’s Portable Document Format, from a Java developer’s point of view. You’ll learn how to use iText in a Java/J2EE application for the production and/or manipulation of PDF documents. Along the way, you’ll become acquainted with lots of interesting PDF features and discover e-document functionalities you may not have known about before.

In addition to the many small code samples, this book includes lots of XML-based, ready-made solutions that can easily be adapted and integrated into your projects.

If you’re a .NET developer using the C# or J# port of iText, iTextSharp or iText.NET, you can also benefit from this book, but you’ll have to adapt the examples.
