iText represents the next level of SDKs for developers that want to take advantage of the benefits PDF can bring. Equipped with a better document engine, high- and low-level programming capabilities and the ability to create, edit and enhance PDF documents, the iText PDF library can be a boon to nearly every workflow. iText allows you to build custom PDF scenarios for web, mobile, desktop or cloud apps in .NET.

iText was built on nearly a decade of lessons learned from iText 5 (iTextSharp) development. It is a simpler, more performant and extensible library that is ready to handle the increased challenges of today's document workflows, one add-on at a time.

The iText Suite consists of iText Core and several add-ons. The add-ons are accessible as different packages.

What you can do with iText:

Generate PDFs:

  • Mass generation of PDFs, including tagged PDFs which contain metadata to describe the document structure and the order of its elements (e.g. titles, text blocks, columns and pictures)
  • Convert images to PDF
  • Convert HTML to PDF (with the pdfHTML iText add-on)
  • iText is unique in its breadth of language support, including Indic languages, Thai, Khmer, Arabi, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic languages and many more, in combination of (with the pdfCalligraph iText add-on)

Edit and manipulate PDFs:

  • Split or merge PDFs, delete pages from a PDF
  • Rotate a PDF or specific pages
  • Add passwords and PDF permission options to a PDF, or remove password protection from a PDF
  • Update/add content, PDF objects [dictionaries etc.], watermarks, bookmarks…
  • Remove sensitive data, Regex based redaction (PDF redaction) (with the pdfSweep iText add-on)
  • Create and modify annotations
  • Programmatically fill out PDF forms (AcroForm and XFA)
  • Flatten AcroForms
  • Read XFA
  • Flatten XFA (with the pdfXFA iText add-on)

Secure PDFs:

  • Encryption and decryption
  • Digital signatures: signing and validating

Extract data from PDFs:

  • Extraction of images, tables, text (PDF parsing)
  • Template based data extraction (with the pdf2Data iText add-on)

Compliance:

  • PDF 2.0
  • PDF/A: PDF/A-1(a,b), PDF/A-2(a,b,u), PDF/A-3(a,b,u), PDF/A-4
  • PDF/UA, PDF/UA-2
