ParadoxPDF uses a java jar : paradoxpdf.jar built upon 'Flying Saucer' https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/ Flying saucer is a XML/XHTML/CSS 2.1 Renderer that supports a native PDF output support.

Paradoxpdf.jar is a wrapper application that can be used from command line. Is contains all dependencies. and sources will be soon published on sourcefoge.net

The original idea for using 'Flying Saucer' to generate pdf contents was published by Joshua Marinacci to http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/06/26/generating-pdfs-with-flying-saucer-and-itext.html

ParadoxPDF features


ParadoxPDF provides all features of Flying Saucer as :

  • Platform independent : 100% Java XML+CSS layout engine with native PDF output.
  • Strong support for the CSS 2.1 specification including extensions to better support paged media.
  • Support for XHTML.
  • Arbitrary elements may be replaced with custom content.
  • Some support for PDF specific features (for example, bookmarks and internal links).

In addition :

  • Easy : Prepare your designs just as any html design for the PDF View and let the magic happen
  • Multipage generation and page break-support (with custom header and footer)
  • Good performance (better than Apache FOP).
