We prefer working WITH integrators, not AGAINST integrators. Watch this testimony from an integrator to find out what we mean by this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzF8E4h7Evo Many integrators have already signed up with us to be a reseller in the sense that they get a reduction when they use iText in many different projects. Unfortunately, we also know of some integrators who don't want to work with us. For reasons unknown, they introduce obsolete, unsupported, unofficial iText versions in projects of their customers. Because of this, their customers' projects would never survive a due diligence if ever a due diligence process was necessary. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/25698526/1622493 to find out why not. What integrator cheats a customer by introducing obsolete software into his code base? I'm sure you'll agree that such behavior is immoral and even raises legal issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
