If iText runs into a PDF with a "blank" open password, you'd never know
you needed them until it started throwing "can't find class foo"
exceptions. Okay, it's possible to see that from Reader or Acrobat, but
it isn't obvious... you have to look at the document
properties->security tab.
I don't think the risk is worth the space you'd save. The jars aren't
that big... under 2mb together. A dial up user might disagree with my
definition of "not that big", but they'll have issues with... well...
everything else too. :/

Subject: [iText-questions] BouncyCastle dependencies in Maven
POM
I was looking at the iText Maven repository and see Bouncy
Castle libraries are included as dependencies. I know these libraries
are used, but I think it might make sense to mark them as <optional>
dependencies since they aren't required unless encryption and signing
are used. This would allow many Maven users to avoid including these
libraries if they weren't used.
Any other thoughts on this?
