The PDF library we use (iText) is under AGPL license only. We know that this license is problematic for some people and companies so we would like to replace this dependency with another one.

Proposed solution

PDFBox

Alternatives considered

PDFBox seems like the best alternative. Equivalent in features we need and with Apache license.

Additional context

Based on #2361 iText is the only AGPL dependency we have.
