Hello, Yes, but the examples I see are very basic and the API's are quite extensive. In short PDFBox can do a lot, but I have no way of finding something quickly what I am looking for. I guess I have no option but to go through the API's and the basic examples to do what I want. My tasks are :
1) getting the data from the database(I have methods for that), format it in correct way and put it in PDF: 2) As the information in database can be small or big, I have to adjust that in PDF. 3) The information in database has to be put on top of certain images in the pdf.
