iText is a trademarked name. I would avoid using a name that refers to iText. Suppose that you call your app iTextStyling, people using it will turn to us for support. As we are not responsible for your project, nor affiliated with you, we will tell these people that they are using software that is not endorsed by us and that they should contact you. If you, as an individual, can not provide this support, you could create a negative perception. I have forwarded one of your previous mails to a business developer at iText. He'll take a look at your project in the second half of August. In my assessment, I explained that I don't see the business case. You may want to put the technical development on hold for a while, and work on the business side first. Remember: good engineers build great technology; great engineers also create a sustainable business model. For the moment, we only see the technology you've built. We don't see the business model. In any case: I strongly advise not using the name iText when choosing a name for your app. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions iText(R) is a registered trademark of 1T3XT BVBA.
