Can <mailto:[email protected]> IText be used to create a custom XML file from a PDF? I have attached an example of my input and output files I need this for a new opensource project I am launching called TaxCode Software. Its on sourceforge. I have a closed source program that I paid to have developed whihc works but is not open. I really could use any support I can get as this is critical to my project. I would happy to reference you in my project.

IText can be used to do just about anything. Just last week I used IText to rebore the pistons on a old car I have been working on. Unfortunately, I had to write the code myself ;-). Seriously, you can use iText to get certain info from a pdf (and if iText doesn't then you might look at pdfbox) but as you will often hear here... pdf is a "final" document format (mainly for print/visual consultation). So extracting "all" info from a pdf is NEVER going to be easy. It might not be hard but that depends on the pdfs...
