iText consists of several jars.

The main iText release contains:

• itextpdf-x.y.z.jar: the core library
• itext-xtra-x.y.z.jar: extra functionality (PDF 2!)
• itext-pdfa-x.y.z.jar: PDF/A-related functionality

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

You can also build iText from source.

In some cases, you'll need extra jars. These jars are bundled in a zip file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/files/extrajars/

For XML (and HTML) functionality, you need this jar:

• xmlworker-x.y.z.jar This project is hosted on https://github.com/itext/xmlworker

Finally, we also have a tool that can help you debug PDFs:

• itext-rups-x.y.z.jar This project is hosted on https://github.com/itext/rups
