We should probably stick on the user list; unless we are talking about adding
code - I would love to see a geopdf module for geotools.
Here is some code to set up an iText Graphics:
-
http://gitorious.org/udig/udig-platform/blobs/master/plugins/net.refractions.udig.printing.ui/src/net/refractions/udig/printing/ui/pdf/ExportPDFWizard.java
And to print use the normal streaming renderer examples:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+GTRenderer
I filled in some of the details on that page about printing; try out the code
and correct as needed.
