Who's using iText?
Two examples of companies that are using iText:
Adobe ColdFusion application server and software enables developers
to rapidly build, deploy, and maintain robust web applications for the enterprise.
Whenever they need output in the form of PDF, they have a series of Cold Fusion tags
at their disposition that are translated into calls to iText.
Scriptura, a product created by Inventive Designers, is a powerful document platform,
that allows you to graphically design your documents and control the entire document
flow of your business, from composition and personalization to output production
and delivery. Inventive Designers uses iText as the PDF engine in this product.
