java - producing charts in PDF form

Question

I'm looking for suggestions on the easiest way to create charts and have them printed out as PDFs. This has to be done in Java.

I was looking at something like: http://jcckit.sourceforge.net/index.html

But I don't see how to turn those charts into PDFs.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Ireport is what you are looking for

Answer 2

If you want to control this process from Java, then you could use JFreeChart and Docmosis together to produce PDF reports that contain charts you generate on the fly. Otherwise you could look at something like Yellowfin to perform higher level reporting controlled and administered via a browser.
