Hi Praveen, The most powerful way to extract a paragraph’s position and other data from a PDF document is the iText 7 add-on pdf2Data, which also has an online demo: https://pdf2data.online/ Maybe this Stack Overflow answer by iText’s Alexey Subach can help you: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55807256/how-can-i-get-the-position-of-the-specified-keyword-in-itext7 While pdf2data is the optimal approach, you can do basic extractions with iText 7 Core using a regular expression: PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader(inputFile)); ILocationExtractionStrategy strategy = new RegexBasedLocationExtractionStrategy("regular expression"); PdfCanvasProcessor canvasProcessor = new PdfCanvasProcessor(strategy); canvasProcessor.processPageContent(pdfDocument.getPage(1)); pdfDocument.close(); strategy.getResultantLocations(); // now contains all the locations of the matching text If you want an answer for your specific case, then it is better to post a more detailed question on Stack Overflow pointing out what you have tried and where you are stuck. If you have a commercial license, you will also have access to iText customer support over Jira. Kind regards, Kenneth Holvoet iText Software

Hi Praveen, iText Core library has 3 major releases in the history: iText 2, iText 5 and iText 7. The good news is that all iText Core library versions including the latest one, iText 7, is still open source. The license is however different than iText 2, let me elaborate: iText 7 Core and a number of open-source add-ons are available under the AGPLv3 open source license: https://itextpdf.com/en/how-buy/agpl-license. If one can’t comply to the AGPLv3 license requirements, it is still possible to use iText 7 with a commercial license. iText 7 Core and the open-source add-ons already supersede all iText 2 and iText 5 functionality, but in addition there are also several closed-source add-ons providing extra functionality. A complete overview of open-source and closed-source add-ons can be found in the product overview: https://itextpdf.com/en/products. If you’d like to know more about open-source software licenses, you can check out this webinar: https://itextpdf.com/en/events/open-source-software-licenses-how-check-comply-them I hope this answers your question.
