Save file as pdf in java

Hi there,

I want to write text and images and generate a pdf file.

Is it possible in java ?

I read there is itext (requires license), pdfbox(that requires apache). I don't convert text but i want to write and save the file as pdf..

Any help is appreciated. thank you.

You will need to use a library/tool to do this (PDF is complex).

Another choice is PDFJet which is pretty cheap ($300 for a single developer).

Thanks so much.
There's a free iText as well.  

Apache has the FOP package (again, it does not require that you also have the apache web server) as well.
