Which Java PDF library to use in commercial project? I need to generate a printable (and good if it will be editable, like .xls) report (it contains table, some text and report’s total page count – this is because I can’t use HTML( I can’t calculate page count)).
P.S. I can’t use iText because it’s licence don’t allow to use free version of iText in commercial projects.
Thanks.
We are in the same boat at my job, and are moving to pdfbox. For what it’s worth, generating real print quality PDFs (like, ones that get printed hardcopy by a print company) for office documents is somewhat non-trivial. In my experience, distiller does the best job. But PDFBox is certainly more straightforward if that will meet your print needs.
