After quick check, seems seam is a bit of big framework to add for just pdf, does not support jdk 1.4 (>=5.0 only), and anyway there doesn't seem to be seam component that add text at specific location of an existing document, which is my aim. (It will be generated by a fill the form, get a prefilled PDF form to print web page).

Any other suggestion?

Thank you.

Haven't tried this myself yet, but Seam can generate PDFs.

    Hello,

    i come across a requirement where i need to generate a PDF, by adding
    text at specific location inside an existing pdf. I thought about
    using
    a servlet that does it using itext. However, after turning on my
    brain,
    i think it would be very interresting if you could instead do
    something
    like this in a JSF/Facelet application:
    <x:pdf value="#{someBinaryDocument}">
        <x:page number="1">
           <x:outputText value="#{someBean.property}">
              <some classical JSF converter>
           </x:outputText>
        </x:page>
    </x:pdf>

    I know how to create binary output from a JSF component (get
    outpustream, set headers, set responseComplete())

    Oracle ADF has a telnet renderer, i suppose there could exist some PDF
    based renderers out there. Interest would be to generate PDF output as
    easily as html output. It does not seems so difficult to implement
    a few
    PDF based JSF components using itext. However, i'd like to prevent
    stupid double work if this stuff already exist somewhere.

    Anyone know of existing library for this?
