PDF Libraries

One of our clients has asked for even more PDF generating and storing capabilities, with a new set of systems and procedures requiring (likely) more than the Open Source community has provided. JPedal may be an option for us.

The new project will require pulling information out of a database, and placing this information onto multiple pages within a PDF (say, 3 pages). The first page will also need a graphic placed on the side, which is pulled from another database, and is likely a different size / orientation every time. It will need to be resized and oriented and super-imposed onto the first page, underneath the data already on the page (like a water mark). Other pages will be a bit simpler, requiring placing data onto PDF forms, and merging them together (using something like the PDF Stamper from iText).

Should be interesting.
