PDF Generation

jPDFWriter is a class library for the Java programming language that allows you to create PDF documents without any modifications to your printing code. By extending the standard Java method classes that handle printing, jPDFWriter emulates a Java technology-based printer job and its behavior. This eliminates the need for any code changes and even allows an application to choose where to print at runtime.

A free Java library to extract both text and images from pdf and to provide a Rastrerizer.

iText is a library that allows developers to extend the capabilities of their web server (and other JAVA) applications with dynamic PDF document generation. PDF documents can be generated from scratch using high level objects for tables, columns, chapters, sections, etc... There is also low level PDF and java.awt.Graphics2D support. PDF forms can be filled, existing PDF documents can be copied, stamped, signed and/or encrypted using iText.

ReportMill is the world's first "Object Reporting System", combining an easy-to-use page layout application and a powerful pure Java developer package to create dynamically generated web pages and reports. ReportMill generates professional, well-formatted content that is either interactive and scrollable (in Flash) or paginated and printable (in PDF) - all from the same template. Template design is easy: simply draw the elements of your report using the powerful page layout application. Key substitution is also easy, using the familiar mail-merge paradigm (eg, "@myKey@"). Code integration is even easier - PDF, for instance, can be generated and written to a file with only 3 lines of code.
