I'm quite pleased with iText myself, but generating /formatted/ text
can be annoying unless you already have the content in a structured
format (like valid XHTML or some Wiki format). Generating from generic
HTML snippets (which is probably one of the most used content-formats) will 
open up a very large can of worms in my experience.
