In this iText tutorial, I am writing various code examples read a pdf file and generate PDF file. IText library helps to generate pdf files from java applications dynamically. These code examples are categorized into multiple sections based on the work they do OR functionality they achieve. Sep 17, 2007 There's also a package call PDFBox. You deliver the PDF just like any other data stream, In a Servlet set the resonse type to 'application/pdf'.

I prefer outputting my data into XML (using Castor, XStream or JAXB), then transforming it using a XSLT stylesheet into XSL-FO and render that with Apache FOP into PDF. Worked so far for 10-page reports and 400-page manuals. I found this more flexible and stylable than generating PDFs in code using iText.

Following are few libraries to create PDF with Java:

I have used iText for genarating PDF's with a little bit of pain in the past.

Or you can try using FOP: FOP is an XSL formatter written in Java. It is used in conjunction with an XSLT transformation engine to format XML documents into PDF.

Another alternative would be JasperReports: JasperReports Library. It uses iText itself and is more than a PDF library you asked for, but if it fits your needs I'd go for it.

Simply put, it allows you to design reports that can be filled during runtime. If you use a custom datasource, you might be able to integrate JasperReports easily into the existing system. It would save you the whole layouting troubles, e.g. when invoices span over more sites where each side should have a footer and so on.
