Imagine a publisher who wants to "stamp" his ebooks on the fly with the name of the buyer (to discourage sharing). Such a publisher would (and we know one who does) use iText for the task. Developers looking to enhance web- and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation will find this book unique in content and readability.

I am an IT professional and I find this book very difficult to follow. The author seems to have no idea how to present information. He claims that the code is available on his web-site but I haven't managed to find the examples that I need. I think iText is very powerful but this book is not well written!

Robert H. Stine Jr. said
If you plan to use iText, this book indespensible, and iText is a very powerful, flexible, yet simple Java library for managing PDF.

The examples in the book are crisper and not domain specific, so are much more amenable to use than in the typical software tutorial.

I look at the first chapter and first example. It doesn't work. Also you can not download examples in one zip file. Those are in contradiction with the book instructions. pg. 11 and pg 12. Author should provide error list for this book, or it is going to be lose values quickly.

For good part, itext is a good tool. Better download earlier version.

This is a best book I have ever seen. It has every details about how to use the iText. It's very clear in every technical aspects. iText is also a great API for Java programmer. It's also really easy to learn. I love iText.

I love this book. I strongly recommand this book.

Nickolas Heudecker said
This is a great book for people developing or maintaining applications using iText. It covers every corner-case I've run into, typically offering various options on how to solve a problem. The writing is concise, with easily approachable chapters and examples.
