The Big Faceless Java PDF Library is a Java class library for creating PDF documents. The Extended Edition of Big Faceless Java PDF Library 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.
