The iText classes are very useful for people who need to generate read-only, platform independent documents containing text, lists, tables and images. The library is especially useful in combination with Java(TM) technology-based Servlets: The look and feel of HTML is browser dependent; with iText and PDF you can control exactly how your servlet's output will look. iText requires JDK 1.2. It's available for free under a multiple license: MPL and LGPL. http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html Write PDF documents, render them from XML/XSL sources.
