It appears that PDFDocumentGraphics2D is just a Graphics2D context. Then presumably you could pass it to the paint() method of any AWT or Swing component to have that component paint itself to the PDF. E.g. Just use a JTextPane or a JTable, then pas the PDFDocumentGraphics2D object to their paint() methods > I have started to manage that with PDFBox and it works great (increment x > when text is added, increment y when text is too long for the line, etc). > > I don't see the advantage to use PDFDocumentGraphics2D instread of using > PDFBox PDPageContentStream. > I'm afraid with FOP because: > > * PDFDocumentGraphics2D is not documented.
