Sorry for my naivety on this. What effect will that have on existing user's
using older versions of iText code in there current commercial
projects/products?
What effect will it have using the latest iText (v5 or whatever) in any future
* products/projects? i.e. Will we need to pay for it?
Hello all,
5 months after the release of iText 2.1.7, we're now releasing iText 5.
It took a long time to make this release, and we made a huge jump
in the version number for the following reasons:
1. We've upgraded the license to the AGPL as recommended by the
Free Software Foundation for

The older versions will no longer be supported, and will eventually die.
Starting a new project with an old iText version is like investing in

I am using iTextSharp 4.1.6 with SignatureRender set to Description.
If PdfSignatureAppearance.Acro6Layers is set to false then siganture
appearance looks Ok.
If Acro6Layers is set to true, then line(s) filled with whitespace
appear before text Digitally signed by... Are these empty lines
Was the intent to change the license for the 4.1.6/4.2.0 as well? I notice
that the source on sourceforge now includes the AGPL license rather than the
LGPL/MPL as before. Was that deliberate or accidental? Should we read that
previous versions of iTextSharp are now no longer compatible with those

4.1.6/4.2.0 will stay LGPL/MPL forever, it's not possible to change licenses
retroactively. Newer versions will be AGPL.

Thanks for that clarification Paulo, it does leave me a little confused
however.
If you pull the 106 revision (or in fact any revision after 98) the

Thank you BUT you keep saying to add as an OnFocus event. The problem is
that there is nowhere that shows an example of this being added in the

Would you have an example of the code I would need to add it to the

Hmmm. Maybe these are used a lot.
Are those parts of the new book finished enough to explain the new

There's almost no documentation available about SimpleCell and
SimpleTable, so there's no big loss there.

Actually, you didn't. If the book contained ALL of the documentation, it
would be huge and much more costly to purchase.
Some of us would not mind that. In fact a whole series of proper books,
starting with iText for Dummies would be just fine. No free support, but a

I can still see it. Maybe it's a temporary problem.

Hi,
Do you mind making iTextSharp 4.1.7 or 4.2.0 or what ever version of the

old software if there is release for the last LGPL+MPL version license.
License change for other projects matching the AGPL ain't that pretty

Sorry Paulo, but what do you mean you don't see where there's doubt? You
have the potential of multiple DLLs all reporting 4.1.6 as their version and
no way of telling if it's a LGPL/MPL or and AGPL licensed release unless you
are working from the source. That's confusion to me. The announcement
