Itext722g is an android port of popular java based pdf library known as IText. (https://github.com/itext/itext7)
currently version 7.2.2 is ported.
You may want to add
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>Also if you are going to add images or files to pdf from internet.
We need to add the Internet access permissions
in the Manifest.
Using Itext722G is easy! Just add the following to your application's root build.gradle file.
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}And then add the dependency to the module level build.gradle file.

java.awt.Image is replaced with android.graphics.bitmap.
library works well on android with api 19 or above.
From styledXmlParser package ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD has been removed.
BouncyCastle is replaced with SpongyCastle.
Library only understands absolute file paths. RandomAccessFile is used everywhere so if Scope storage is active please make sure that you have read/write permission on the paths or files passed to library. use SAF or other means.
If you place files in the app's asset directory or any sub directory inside assets - your file path should look like this
original file placed = assets/fonts/fancyFont.otf
path passed to the library = fonts/fancyFont.otf
Raw Files: IText won't load files that resides in your raw directory.
Assets are loaded into memory
IText sources have test cases already written and for the following scenaiors and packages I run them on android.
BarCodes ---- Ok.
Basic PDF creation ----- Ok.
Basic Pdf reading, ---- Ok.
