Thanks.

String[] messageTokens = new String[3];
messageTokens[0] = "This is message 1 on line 1";
messageTokens[1] = "This is message 2 on line 2";
messageTokens[2] = "This is message 3 on line 3";
PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
document.addPage(page);
PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont(font, 12);
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 700);
for (String message : messageTokens) {
contentStream.drawString(message);
}
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
document.save( "Test_Doc.pdf");
document.close();
The pdf format doesn't know line breaks. You have to move the text position to
the next line on your own using moveTextPositionByAmount.
