That isn't obvious to me.  Does 7(b) allow a requirement that a legal
notice be preserved in a specific field of a file format?  If so, it
still seems the requirement could only apply to PDF files that
constitute a derivative work of iText, not (e.g.) to PDF files that just
had pages removed with iText.

(IANAL, I'm just participating out of my own curiosity.)
