The Big Faceless PDF library is a Java class library for reading and writing PDF documents. With support for digital signatures, encryption, forms, Unicode, TIFF and other images and a well designed API. The library is small, fast and easy to use, and as it's 100% Java can run on any platform. The Extended Edition offers the ability to create and edit AcroForms, PDF's answer to the HTML form. Like HTML forms, PDF forms can contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing, along with FDF support and verification for Digital Signatures. Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption, embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, spot and calibrated color. Advanced text layout engine enables complex HTML styles. It is small, fast, easy to use, and 100% pure Java. Download the free trial and test it yourself!
What's new in this version:
Fixed PNG de-interlacing routine - was failing for some image dimensions and depths
Fix attempt to modify unmodifiable map with some Type 1 fonts (since 2.4.3)
The core of the library runs with Java 1.3 again, and will run if calls to System.getProperties() have Access Restrictions. This has resulted in a visible change to the API - StandardEncryptionHandler.setAcrobat7Security
no longer throws a javax.crypto.NoSuchPaddingException.
