PDF files can be saved to files on a disk, written to a java.io.OutputStream or written directly to a to show in a browser when working within a J2EE application server. This allows for reuse of existing printing code and for an application to decide, at runtime, whether to send the output to a printer or to a PDF file. jPDFWriter also extends the standard Java PrinterJob so that you can create PDF files in the same way that you would print to a physical printer.Simply create a PDFDocument object, create as many PDFPage objects as necessary, draw strings, graphics or any other elements supported by Graphics2D to the pages and then save the document. PDF files can be created directly using jPDFWriter’s very simple API.JPDFWriter can create PDF files in two ways:


If you need more functionality than creating PDF documents, Qoppa Software also produces a library called jPDFProcesswhich can open, manipulate and print existing PDF documents. The library is licensed using the jPDFWriter License. JPDFWriter is free to use for commercial purposes, there are no license fees. jPDFWriter emulates the standard Java classes to print and draw graphics to reduce the learning curve when using the library and reuse existing code. jPDFWriter is a Java class library that allows you to create PDF documents directly from your Java programs without having to install any third party drivers or software.
