Ken, thanks for the feedback, I meant to reply to your comments,
I suppose I really meant Tika offering a uniform API to create some simple
structured PDF/etc files.
ContentCreator creator = ContentCreator.get("PDF");
creator.addTitle("Introduction to Tika");
creator.addText("");
creator.addTable("tablename", new LinkedHashMap<String, List<String>>());
creator.addAttachment(someImage);
creator.complete();
It would be consistent with the Tika approach on the read side.
Cheers, Sergey
