PLEASE NOTE: iTextSharp is EOL, and has been replaced by iText 7.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

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