title: Using different version of iText with ColdFusion
body: <p>We are using ColdFusion MX7.</p>
  
  <p>The CFDOCUMENT tag uses iText for the PDF creation so the whole of the iText library is included in the standard CF deployment.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I'm having is that I want to use a version of iText that is newer than the one included in CF7.  I need to keep CFDOCUMENT functioning, so simply changing the jar file is not an option.</p>
  
  <p>What I have done so far is to load the iText source into Eclipse and refactor it to a different name.  That works fine and has been doing so for about a year.</p>
  
  <p>However, I would like to upgraded to the newest iText release, and jumping through the hoops of refactoring again is a bit daunting.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easier way to load the jars and not have them conflict with the old version?</p>
