Hi Jin Jiankang, DTP (DeskTop Publishing) suits such as texlive/miktex or framemaker meet your requirements better than iText or Pdfbox. In order to garantee the identical layout and the identical bells and whistles in the book, basically you need some layout templates from the original English publisher and stuff the Chinese text into the template, XSL-Fo might be the programatic way to do so. If the layout is relatively simple, building a template with texlive/miktex or framemaker is not too difficult.
According to Pdfbox's source code, it is awkward when you are using characterset other than ASCII or UTF-16. Our problem with Pdfbox is, it does not write common western European characters such as ä, ö, ü into target pdf files, that's why we switched to iText. I don't think Pdfbox will write Chinese characters correctly into your target pdf file. Best Regards, Ellen N.
