iText is a freely available Java library from Lowagie.com (see Resources). The iText library is powerful and supports the generation of HTML, RTF, and XML documents, in addition to generating PDFs. You can choose from a variety of fonts to be used in the document. Also, the structure of iText allows you to generate any of the above-mentioned types of documents with the same code.
The iText library contains classes to generate PDF text in various fonts, generate tables in PDF document, add watermarks to pages, and so on. There are many more features available with iText. It would not be possible to demonstrate all of them in a single article. We will cover the basics required for PDF generation.
For this application you need following jars file
Text-2.1.6.jar
iText-rtf-2.1.6.jar
Text-rups-2.1.6.jar
