Background

As legend has it the initial implementation of the library came out of Italy and was originally named pdfGo. At the time there was a popular embedded web browser that had a plug-in API and a need to view PDF documents. One acquisition later pdfGo became ICEpdf and a couple months afterwards the version 1.0.0 was released. The closed source version of ICEpdf slowly gained adoption but in 2009 a good portion of the library was open source and a small community was built around it...

Give or take another 15 years and the things changed again. The library found a new home on GitHub. It may have lost a few features along the way due to licensing issues but the intent is still the same. Provide a pure Java solution to rendering and viewing PDF documents.
