Java PDF Viewer with FDF

Question

My company needs a PDF viewer with Java APIs with the additional requirement of being able to use FDF form data.

The only thing I found is JPedal , which promises should show everything we need, but it costs a bunch. So what are my options? Is there any other tool for this?

edit:

I found iText to be an easy way to combine FDF data into a PDF form.

The only LGPL viewer that worked fine (unlike Adobe's own 10-year-old Java 1.1 API) was Sun pdf-renderer . But, unfortunately, it does not display form values. iText form-flattening helps, but there should be a better way.

Answer 1

Take a look at the Foxit SDK. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ The cost seems a little less, and I'm sure you will get a lot more.

Maybe Open Office has something for you?

I also just found those:

Answer 3

http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ (you may have to imitate it a little if you want to find what you are looking for, but I think you will find)

Answer 4

A year ago, I was looking for something similar, but I could not find anything useful, so in the end I called the acrobat reader (this, of course, is only a workaround). Thank you for mentioning the pdf renderer (the project was not created a year ago, at least I could not find it) in your question.
