Well there is mapfish print v3 - it is setup with jasper reports so much more capable (and thus less simple) then v2.
You can just print to PDF using GeoTools (and the same free text library for a java2d PDF output). But there are not that many decorations (like legend and north arrow). I had a bunch of decorations in the uDig codebase which used the GeoTools library for PDF decoration. I think the special bit of the mapfish print v2 codebase is having more kinds of layers; a feature that would be welcome in to the GeoTools code base also. -- Jody Garnett On Mon, Jul 8, 2024 at 1:41 PM Tiago Vieira <tixvie...@gmail.com> wrote: > "The origional authors (camptocamp) are kind of horrified that the library > is still in use". > Ahahah.
