Maven Doxia has a PDF backend implemented using iText.
There are some problems with iText backend:
* iText generated PDFs have different problems (for example
broken links)
* iText upstream discontinued XML to PDF functionalities
so these problems won't be fixed
* Doxia upstream announced that iText backend will likely
be removed in future versions of Doxia
Because of the above reasons I am going to remove iText backends from
Maven Doxia (packages maven-doxia and maven-doxia-sitetools)
in Fedora 19 and later.
Note that Doxia has a second PDF backend, implemented using Apache FOP.
This means that Doxia will continue to support PDF generation, but
using a different backend.
