PLEASE NOTE: iTextSharp is EOL, and has been replaced by iText 7. Only security fixes will be added

We HIGHLY recommend customers use iText 7 for new projects, and to consider moving existing projects from iTextSharp to iText 7 to benefit from the many improvements such as:

  • HTML to PDF (PDF/UA) conversion
  • PDF Redaction
  • SVG support
  • Better language support: Indic, Thai, Khmer, Arabic, Hebrew. (Close-source addon)
  • PDF Debugging for your IDE
  • Data Extraction
  • Better continued support and bugfixes
  • More modular, extensible handling of your document workflow
  • Extra practical add-ons
  • Encryption, hashing & digital signatures

iTextSharp consists of several dlls.

The main release contains:

  • itextsharp.dll: the core library
  • itextsharp.xtra.dll: extra functionality (PDF 2!)
  • itextsharp.pdfa.dll: PDF/A-related functionality
  • itextsharp.xmlworker.dll: XML (and HTML) functionality

This project is hosted on https://github.com/itext/itextsharp

You can also build iTextSharp from source.

We also have RUPS — a Java tool that can help you debug PDFs. It's hosted on http://github.com/itext/rups

iTextSharp is licensed as AGPL software.

AGPL is a free / open source software license.

This doesn't mean the software is gratis!

Buying a license is mandatory as soon as you develop commercial activities distributing the iText software inside your product or deploying it on a network without disclosing the source code of your own applications under the AGPL license. These activities include:

  • offering paid services to customers as an ASP
  • serving PDFs on the fly in the cloud or in a web application
  • shipping iText with a closed source product
