Overview

JFreePDF is a library module for the Java(tm) platform that allows you to create content in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) using the standard Java2D drawing API (Graphics2D). JFreePDF is light-weight, fast, and has no dependencies other than the Java runtime (11 or later). The home page for the project is:

http://www.object-refinery.com/orsonpdf/

Getting Started

The Javadoc page for the PDFDocument class gives an example of typical usage.

Oracle provides tutorials for Java2D here:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/

There are some demonstration applications included in the JFree Demos project.

Include

JFreePDF is published to the Central Repository. You can include it in your projects with the following dependency:

</dependency>
