Hi Daniel...

I have the same problem as yours, where i must show pdf files in a something-like-swing environment. Finally, i'm trying with SWT (Eclipse) with ActiveX components embedding....

Look at....

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-activex/

And give a try to embed a explorer and navigate to a pdf file....


I don't know if your problem is like this...

I tested it some time ago. That viewer allows to load TT T1C T1 fonts that

in a awt-panel. Perhaps you find a solution in this source-code.

Shame it's GPL... and also slower (3 seconds per page compared to around 2 seconds per page for FOP.) I've tried a number of other libraries for convering PDF to TIFF, and as yet nothing has come close to Ghostscript which can do about 6 pages a second (and unfortunately Ghostscript is GPL too.)

PDFBox had great promise but it renders every word on the line at the start of the line, which is a real mess. :-D

To make matters worse all these companies which sell the PDF to TIFF conversion software have prohibitive per-computer licencing fees (most of them are above 10% of the cost of our own product) which seem to indicate that they are assuming we will be using the library in a server-based application (which we're not. :-/)
