Hi Jeremias , Wow thta's a very cool sample! Thank a lot.
With you sample I must manage x and y position that I have started with PDFBox implementation. It seems that PDFDocumentGraphics2D looks like PDPageContentStream (draw string, set font, color, exc). So my question what is advantage to use PDFDocumentGraphics2D from FOP instead of PDPageContentStream from PDFBox? PDFDocumentGraphics2D is an API stable? Thank a lot for your answer.
