Hi Everyone,

I have a requirement to extract PDF data, I could achieve that using itextsharp dll, but I just want to know whether the itextsharp library is secure and approved by Blue Prism or not, if not please suggest me an alternative approach.

Thanks in advance,

Sampath Kumar

@Sampath_KumarSa,

FWIW, there is a new PDF asset available on the DX based on the PdfPig open source library. You can find it at the following link:

iTextSharp is no longer open source and is actually considered EoL by the publisher.

Cheers,
