What's a good way to make PDFs in java? iText , pdfbox , and perhaps other libraries? However there is another way to create PDFs which is (at least for me and my use case) easier. And that is: create a HTML. Then convert that HTML into a PDF using flying saucer . Why is this easier? Because creating a PDF from scratch is something that makes me feel sick. To get good looking PDFs here is what I suggest: Use a good template library like thymeleaf to generate a html. You can style the HTML and you have a good turnaround time to get a good looking HTML. You can even use CSS to style it Use the flying saucer library to convert the HTML to PDF ??? Profit
