Overview

--------

JFreePDF is a library module for the Java(tm) platform that allows you to create content in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) using the standard Java2D drawing API (`Graphics2D`).  JFreePDF is light-weight, fast, and has no dependencies other than the Java runtime (11 or later).  The home page for the project is:

https://github.com/jfree/jfreepdf

Getting Started

---------------

The Javadoc page for the `PDFDocument` class gives an example of typical usage.

Oracle provides tutorials for Java2D here:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/

There are some demonstration applications included in the [JFree Demos](https://github.com/jfree/jfree-demos) project. 

Include

-------

JFreePDF is published to the Central Repository. You can include it in your projects with the following dependency:

    

        org.jfree

        org.jfree.pdf

        2.0.1

    

JFreePDF defines the module name `org.jfree.pdf`.

If you are using Java 8, an earlier version of this library (OrsonPDF) can be used instead:

    

    

        com.orsonpdf

        orsonpdf

        1.9

    

Build

-----

You can build JFreePDF from sources using Maven:

    mvn clean install
