iText PDF Library turns 25


On 14th February 2000 the first public version of the iText PDF library was released to the open-source community. A quarter of a century later, Apryse is proudly celebrating with the release of iText Suite 9.1 on iText’s 25th anniversary, which is also Valentine’s Day! This release brings significantly expanded SVG and CSS support, huge performance increases, GraalVM for pdfHTML, and a whole lot of love!

First off, we’re massively extending our SVG implementation in iText Core, with significant improvements to text positioning, font handling, adding support for relative size attributes, and much more. There’s updates for merge handling when remote and embedded go-to actions are present, and we resolved a customer issue related to decoding Xref streams with missing bytes. Don't forget, the release notes contain links to our Java and .NET GitHub repositories which are continually updated with useful code samples for iText Core and its add-ons.
