Yes, it is possible but it is certainly an uncommon way to use the FOP code!
Attached is an example, together with a font configuration file, and the output. The example is a slightly edited version of the ExampleJava2D2PDF.java of the emdedding package (in example/embedding/java). The example was run on a Mac so edit the fonts to your environment.

Hi Theresa,-----Original Message----- From: Theresa Jayne Forster [mailto:ther...@inbrand.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 1:43 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: Generating a PDF by drawing to PDFDocumentGraphics2D The usual way we create PDFs is via XML/XSL into a .fo file which is then "compiled" into the pdf.Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I don't know much about creating a PDF via XML/XSL into a .fo file, and I don't intend to use it, as I only need to generate a PDF dynamically by drawing to a Graphics2D object - which is why I'm using FOP's PDFDocumentGraphics2D. I know about Apache PDFBox where you can generate a PDF on the fly, but it seems that its API doesn't have support for drawing to a Graphics2D object. Another possiblility would be using the iText (R) library; however, it seems to have some problems with text positioning, and it's licence applies several restrictions on what to do with the product. Therefore, I'm currently using Apache FOP 1.0 to generating a PDF by drawing to a PDFDocumentGraphics2D, which seems to work pretty well. The only problem I'm currently having is how to embed Fonts into the PDF, so that I also can use other characters which are not available in the PDF's included fonts (or e.g. change the Font charset, so that other Unicode characters are available). Do you have an idea if this is possible? Thanks!
