Beginning with version 5.0 the developers have moved to the AGPL to improve their ability to sell commercial licenses. I fully respect the developers' wishes and rights. To assist those desiring to stick with the old license I'm making the final MPL/LGPL version more easily available.

This repo has the following changes from forked and merged repositories:

• upgraded compilation for java 8
• repackaged together with bouncy castle 1.46 to quickly avoid conflicts with bouncy castle changed API (via class relocation to old.* package)
• in case of unexpected end of PDF file the IOException is thrown (not PDFNull)
• merged patch from Steven to fix NPE in XFA Form (escapeSom method)
• merged UnembedFontPdfSmartCopy functionality from Vicente Alencar

This is a static mirror! iText has moved on to its new license, and it's not my intention to continue to develop this repo as a fork. If you'd like to contribute to iText, that's awesome! I encourage you to!

Here are some options:

• If you are okay with the AGPL, send your contributions upstream.
• If you want to stay with LGPL/MPL then you can maintain your own fork of this repo, or start a brand new project starting from this code base.

Good luck!
