iText Version #17

The newest version of iText is being included by default in the gradle builds, but since we are using the "released" public version of iText, we don't have the TSG "hacked" version that allows reading of PDFs that have a modify password. This will work fine as long as every PDF does not use any kind of security. The below screenshot is a PDF that will fail to overlay or open in iText because it has a modify password.

We will need to recompile the latest version of iText with the "unethicalreading" mode set to true and save it to the TSG nexus.

Shouldn't we control this better by updating the gradle build to pull our correct iText version from Nexus rather than Maven Central?
