iText is Now Split Into Different Jars
iText 2.1.0, a Free Java-PDF library for developers is now split into different jars:
- iText.jar contains the core functionality, PDF creation and manipulation, as announced a long time ago, the old RtfWriter class was removed in favor of RtfWriter2.
- The RTF code was moved to a separate jar: iText-rtf.jar. This new RTF jar also contains code that can be used for parsing existing RTF files. This is a very promising evolution, but for the moment this functionality isn’t documented yet.
- Finally there’s also the iText-rups.jar, a GUI that uses SUN’s PDF Renderer for viewing and analyzing existing PDF documents. A PDF is rendered using SUN’s library.
- In one of the next releases, there will probably be a fourth jar: iText-toolbox.jar containing the toolbox that is now hosted on SourceForge as a separate project.
