iText库的学习

在学习spring框架生成pdf文档的示例时初识接触到了iText库，本文为学习iText简单提要.

https://www.lowagie.com/iText/ 为项目出处，后来这个项目转化为商业版本，所以com.lowagie这个package再也不继续维护和开发了，转向了com.itext包，而对应的官方网站也改为了 https://itextpdf.com/en 。

如果继续学习和使用com.lowagie这个免费包，学习文档可以在此查到 https://coderanch.com/how-to/javadoc/itext-2.1.7/overview-summary.html
