docs? #53

Closed kdekooter closed 7 years ago

asturio commented 7 years ago

Hi there,

OpenPDF is (still) compatible with itext 2.1.7, so any documentation for itext 2.1.7 should fit OpenPDF. And what about the JavaDoc generated by the project?

kdekooter commented 7 years ago

I am afraid all documentation for itext 2.1.7 (and lower) has been wiped off the internet. As the API is quite verbose it would be great to have some kind of cookbook / tutorial documentation to get started.

Seems like we have to start working on documentation then. For now there are some example code in some of the test source folders, like pdf-toolbox/src/test/java/com/lowagie/examples

Would be highly appreciated. We really need an open source PDF solution for Java!
