I had a look at iText (http://itextpdf.com/) in the past, but have not
used it. It struck me that it would be possible to use Isis to to
actually design the document, not just render it. Also, there is
posting on TSS (
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?track=NL-461&ad=847070&thread_id=62927&asrc=EM_NLN_14864357&uid=2785788

titled "From java.awt.print.Printable to PDF" that sounds interesting
(although I haven't read it yet).

Dear all,
Please could I ask for some assistance in creating Isis domain classes
to support creation of PDF files?
Does anyone have any experience with using java to create PDF files?
I am guessing that some sort of template would be required (to specify
what goes where), and a way of telling the PDF domain classes which
properties should be used.
Since Isis does not support documents as a value type yet (see ISIS-
115 [1]), I will probably use the email domain classes to send the result
to a recipient, assuming that I can add attachment support (if it isn't
already there).
Regards,
Kevin
