PDF Library: About PDF library for creating, editing, displaying and printing Acrobat PDF documents. The PDF API is small, fast, easy to use and integrate into your projects, and is completely written in Java. The API has been designed so you don't need to know the PDF specification in order to create PDFs. We hide as much of the gory details as possible but still give you almost complete control over the PDF itself. Where possible we re-use standard Java classes - for example the pages are stored in a java.util.List, which can be manipulated any way you like (so moving pages from one document to another is a breeze). This means an API which is smaller and easier to remember.	iText: About Now part of the Apryse family, iText is one of the best-documented and most versatile PDF SDKs in the world. The open-source iText Core library features a powerful layout engine and intuitive high-level APIs for document creation and manipulation, digital signing and validation, and much more. It has built-in support for PDF 2.0, all variants of PDF/A and PDF/UA, FIPS-140-2 and the very latest ISO standards for digital signatures and encryption. You can extend iText's capabilities even further, with add-ons for comprehensive HTML/XML and CSS templating, global language and writing systems, secure document redaction, OCR, document optimization, and working with dynamic XFA. iText Core is free to use under the AGPLv3 license, while a commercial license releases you from the AGPL terms and gives you professional support and maintenance. Visit the iText website to try the entire iText Suite free for 30 days, while keeping your IP safe under iText's commercial license terms.
