Release pdfCalligraph 5.0.5

Release date: Jan 8th 2026

pdfCalligraph is our iText Core add-on which provides advanced typography support when creating PDF documents, enabling you to expand your document workflow with accurate rendering for global languages and writing systems.

In addition to changes to maintain compatibility with the iText Core 9.5.0 dependencies, a fix was implemented to improve memory usage in long-running environments. A customer reported an issue where the ProdEventHandler component would accumulate events, leading to high memory usage over time. The event handling logic was updated to clear once a PDF generation job completes.

Don't forget that aside from being a very useful add-on to iText Core by itself, you can also use pdfCalligraph in combination with pdfHTML.
