I am not enough of a functional programming / Clojure expert to comment on which library would integrate best with Clojure.
However I have always found iText to be badly designed (even though historically it has been the mindshare leader with most features) Also the licence on iText is GPL 3 with Affero extension, but the iText guy has sold the commercial rights to a company so anything could happen with it http://itextpdf.com/contact.php I am hopeful that Apache PdfBox (recently out of incubation) will become the main Java library. It has historically been viewed as having a better design, and has always been better if you want to do the complex task of reading (parsing) pdf documents rather than just generating them (this is a tough problem because a pdf document is just glyphs) If it gets more heavily used as catches up on the pdf generation features then PdfBox will be a no-brainer. All Java libraries will be closely tied to the Adobe Pdf spec/api so (1) They won't differ that much (2) If any part of the Adobe spec isn't implemented it will be quite easy to do yourself as you will effectively just be wrapping a call hth, On May 24, 11:22 pm, Jim Tittsler <j...@onjapan.net> wrote: > Is there a library for generating PDF pages/reports with Clojure?
