Hello all, in an attempt to reduce the number of questions that have already been solved over and over again, I'm introducing an FAQ top 5 that will be posted every three weeks. This FAQ will consist of questions that are also posted on http://support.itextpdf.com/ or http://lowagie.com/
1. I've tried an iText example from the book and it doesn't work. On place 5 two weeks ago, but this week's indisputable number 1: http://support.itextpdf.com/node/26 2. Can I extract/parse information from pdf? A question that can be answered in many different ways. The best answer is "it depends". This is a more elaborate answer: http://support.itextpdf.com/node/27 3. Can I use iTextSharp in a VBA application? A question that appeared on the list and that was posted privately a couple of times: http://support.itextpdf.com/node/52 4. Can I create a Reader-enabled PDF using iText? No, you need Adobe software to do that. Previously on number 1, but I haven't heard the question much the last two weeks: http://support.itextpdf.com/node/24 5. How can I create a digital signature with a certificate obtained from CAcert.org? Not a frequently asked question, but one that received extra attention last week: http://support.itextpdf.com/node/57 and http://lowagie.com/importCAcertRoot Answers given on the mailing list are at times very direct and confronting, but we're working on it. I was very happy to read the kudos sent by Bill Ensley: "I came across this post and read all of the responses and I want to give this list back some HUGE kudos. All of you responded with patience and class to a question that other lists would have answered in harassment. It pleases me greatly to see such class not only still here, but growing." http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/55918 Less pleasing was the behavior of the moderators on wikipedia: http://lowagie.com/wiseacrevalley ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
