Which is the last version of itext open source?


Asked by Santino Lynn on Dec 05, 2021 FAQ



Sign in iTextSharp-LGPL 4.1.6 iTextSharp is a port of the iText open source Java library for PDF generation written entirely in C# for the .NET platform. This package contains the last version of the library released under the Mozilla Public License and the LGPL, before the project moved to the AGPL.
Keeping this in consideration,
The iText 7 Community source code is hosted on Github, where you can also download the latest releases. You can also build iText 7 Community from source. We also provide opensource add-ons and tools to complement the core functionality:
Accordingly, iTextSharp (LGPL / MPL) 4.1.6 for .NET Core iTextSharp is an unofficial .NET Core port of the iText open source Java library for PDF generation written entirely in C# for the .NET platform.
Furthermore,
Today I would use that project. The short answer is, yes, iText is open source. The long answer is the next paragraph. The Affero GPL provides some restrictions, which they would be happy to remove, if you buy a license.
Also,
Lowagie created iText as a library that Java developers could use to create PDF documents without knowing PDF syntax, and released it as a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) product on February 14, 2000. In the summer of 2000, Paulo Soares joined the project and is now considered one of the main developers.
