Many of you would have definitely heard about iText, it's the standard Java library for creating PDF files, but iText 5.0+ is not free anymore, you need to pay small licensing fees for using it. In this article, I will share a couple of Java based open source PDF libraries, both FREE and with some licensing fees, which you can use to generate PDF documents in Java projects.
These questions motivates me to write this post. Recently I received a couple of questions regarding the suggestion of open-source Java PDF libraries, like which is the best open source PDF library in Java or should I use iText or Apache FOP in my Java application for PDF processing. Since most of the official documentation uses PDF format nowadays, it becomes imperative to support PDF files. PDF format is a popular format for sending receipts, email confirmation, and other documentation and we often have a requirement to create PDF documents using Java, mostly in JSP pages.
