Yes, Apache FOP has a Graphics2D implementation that lets you generate PDF. An example can be found here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/ExampleJava2D2PDF.java
While it would be great to have a Graphics2D implementation as part of PDFBox, I can say from first-hand experience (I was heavily involved in writing the FOP version) that it is quite some work. The basics are done quickly but then there are the little things. As always. ;-) HTH Jeremias Maerki On 09.10.2013 12:17:02 Andreas Lehmkühler wrote: > Hi, > > > Piotr Krzynowek <[email protected]> hat am 9.
