I have a open source project that is attempting to structure IRS
produced documents such as publications and instructions and parse out
data that is critical to building tax software.
An example of such a file is http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1346.pdf.
This file contains e-file record layouts, which start on page 398.  They
used to publish this as text which made parsing relatively easy, but now
it comes in PDF only, and the project needs to be able to have good open
source parsing technology.   Is Itext the right tool for this job?  I
have seen it do good work on parsing the metadata contained in IRS
fill-in forms.
