Hi I got a requirement where I have a pdf form to register for university. In this form you will need to input your personal details and all your qualifications. Instead of filling this form on paper , they want to do it online on web. So I will be using primefaces 5.3 and jsf 2.0 to build the form and save it in db using hibernate and spring. Now after saving the form, I should be able to generate the form on a pdf and keep the format the same as it was on paper. ( with dot line and small tables etc...) Do you know any pdf library that can do this? Normally i use itext for pdf but it's not possible to keep this format with itext.

  • Ok . Thanks. I came across Jodreports. You provide a .odt file with variable using dollar sign and then use libreoffice to convert odt to pdf. This solution is good only if i have libre office install on the server. Do you happen to know a converter from odt to pdf? – Alina Jun 13 '16 at 10:43
