Nice: A 100% pure Java PDF rendering library
Via DZone I found pdf-renderer
, a 100% pure Java library for rendering PDF files. Unlike existing libraries like iText or FOP, which concentrate on creating and writing PDF files, this library allows to display PDF files on screen and conversion into images. This - together with the upcoming Java Runtime enhancements would make it possible to create an applet-equivalent of Adobe Flashpaper easily. pdf-renderer is LGPL-licensed, which makes it possible to embed it into proprietary applications, but not Apache projects.
