Hi all,

I have an old project using itext 1.2. 

Now the customer require to migrate all parts(Like JDK, itext..) of project
to newer version.

Their technical staff found that itext has been upgraded to 5.0, so they
required us to migrate itext to 5.0.

I found that after itext 2.1.7, you upgrade the version of itext to 5.0
directly. And I compared the source code of version between 2.1.7 and 5.0.
It really has a lot of differences right? Such as the package name:"lowagie"
and "itextpdf". And "com.lowagie.text.Cell" or "com.lowagie.text.Table" are
all removed. So I can't assess the work to migrate from 1.2 to 5.0, it is
too huge.

So I don't think updating them from 1.2 to 5.0 is a good idea. And what I
feel is that version 2.1.7 and 5.0 can be considered as two whole different
library right?

And the most important thing is: I did some research that someone said itext
5.0 does not support excel. Is that correct? Cause I have a lot of report
which will generate excel in my project. If so, I can just tell them we can
only use version 2.1.7 in our project.

Really appreciate if you can answer my question or give me advices.

Thanks very much.

Best regards,
Ken
