PLEASE NOTE: iTextSharp is EOL, and has been replaced by iText. Only security fixes will be added We HIGHLY recommend customers use iText for new projects, and to consider moving existing projects from iTextSharp to iText to benefit from the many improvements such as: - HTML to PDF (PDF/A) conversion - PDF Redaction - SVG support - Better language support (Indic, Thai, Khmer, Arabic, Hebrew) - PDF Debugging for your IDE - Data Extraction - Better continued support and bugfixes - More modular, extensible handling of your document workflow - Extra practical add-ons - Encryption, hashing and digital signatures This DEPRECATED tool parses (X)HTML snippets and the associated CSS and converts them to PDF. It is replaced by iText pdfHTML addon https://www.nuget.org/packages/itext.pdfhtml/ and iText Community: https://www.nuget.org/packages/itext/ XMLWorker is an extra component for iTextSharp. The first XML to PDF implementation, is a new version of the old HTMLWorker that used to be shipped with iTextSharp.
