Re: [iText-questions] Creating Customized JAR file of iText for anApplication

You could try autojar (sourceforge).  I've found it works pretty well -- but when you have any automated tool removing classes from existing jars (and combining them with others), you should make sure to regression-test your classes against the resultant-jar very well in case something was m

If you sign the document, they'll still be ABLE to modify it, but it will invalidate the signature, so you can easily detect the modification and invalidate their version of the document (so to speak).   -AJ - Original Message - From: Gregory Lawson To: itext-questions@

Re: [iText-questions] How to find a text in a PDF file

I don't think iText has that capability.  Look to pdfbox for something that can help...but you'll have to loop through each page, extract the text, search it, and then break out of the loop when you're satisfied.   I wrote something similar a while back...was wishing I could use iText.   -AJ

I've read (and discovered first-hand) that traditionally, encrypting a PDF is pretty weak in the implementation-side of things.  That is, it's more of a deterrent than a protection, because it can be fairly-easily defeated.   Can someone verify whether the encrypt methods in iText are any di
