Hello all,
I'm helping someone to get pdfs created with itext and we're
having the following issue. We downloaded iText-5.0.5 jar file.
In December 2009, we jumped from iText 2.1.7 to iText 5.0.0.
Why did we skip version numbers 3 and 4?
-> To sync with the version numbers or iTextSharp
-> Because we moved to Java 5
We also changed the license to AGPL and we replaced com.lowagie by
com.itextpdf,
so that developers, if they upgraded, they noticed that this was a
major release
involving plenty of changes.
I refer to the libs in my code with notation starting
with "import com.lowagie".
You're using iText 2.1.7 or an older version.
These versions are no longer supported.
But this notation doesn't work for him, instead he
needs to use "import com.itextpdf" on his machine for files to
compile.
That's better!
It bring up 2 questions:
How could iText-5.0.5.jar could have these variations?
It doesn't.
You're using an old iText version; your colleague is using a new
version.
I'm using import com.lowagie.text.Font lib for text
formatting, but with "import com.itextpdf" path reference to
"import com.itextpdf.text.Font;" fails miserably, we tried a
veriety of things. But other references are fine, like "import
com.itextpdf.text.Document;" or "import
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;". We need that Font lib. If
anyone knows and could tell us how to reference .text.Font for
com.itextpdf collection, we'll be deeply thankful.
I think you have a reference to an old version somewhere.
import com.itextpdf.text.Font
works with iText 5.0.5 on a system that is properly configured.
