There's a couple of issues here that start with the definition of core iText functionalities. I would call this the primitives needed to generate a PDF using only the iText API. We then have some accessories that are essentially examples and utilities, like the itexttools now with an autonomous project, and converters like HTMLWorker and PdfGraphics2D. PdfGraphics2D does a decent job as long as you don't go into transparency and shading. These are functions that have many diferences between the awt and the pdf model and that even in a printer driver, for example, are usually flattened into a bitmap, something that you can also do with a BufferedImage.
