Probably not because AWT has its own notions of Font and Paint which are different from those found in PDFBox. > Currently, I'm using Barcode4J which generates an SVG, EPS, Image or Java2D. > I'm doing fine with the PNG option.

You’re likely after only a handful of drawing commands, you could use Java2D’s DebugGraphics to find out which ones and then it wouldn’t be hard to write an absolutely minimal Graphics implementation which draws to a PDPageContentStream. > Drawing Graphics on a PDF would have the same quality as a SVG? or using SVG > format is the only way to draw inside a PDF? Drawing with a PDPageContentStream gives you vector graphics equivalent in quality to SVG, EPS, Java2D, etc. — John > Thanks! > Ivan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
