Generate PDF from Java
Add fast template-based document generation to Java applications.
- Templates enable non-developers and end-users to easily create and change the content and layout of PDF documents.
- Changes to documents can take place outside of normal software development lifecycles.
Docmosis has been designed for high performance PDF generation from Java applications. Single page documents are typically generated sub-second. The ability to perform parallel and distributed processing makes it possible to generate hundred-of-thousands of documents per hour.
An API-First Approach
How to create PDF from Java.
- Create templates using Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer. No special plugins needed.
- Add plain-text placeholders, just by typing, to control the position and behaviour of dynamic content.
The Java application sends data to the API to be merged with the template.
- Docmosis will: insert text/images into the body, headers and footers; conditionally add/remove any content; perform calculations; loop over repeating data to fill tables or lists; format data/numbers and much more..
- The generated document is returned to the calling application.
