Java Open Source Pdf Viewer Library

Question

I'm trying to display already created PDF in a browser without having Acrobat Reader installed, using a Java Applet, not Flash (there's http://stackoverflow.com/questions/785492/open-source-flash-pdf-reader-viewer for that).

This topic is simlar to Java PDF viewer with FDF

JPedal: http://www.jpedal.org/open_source_pdf_viewer_download.php Doesn't work in browswer, only Swing

Pdf Renderer https://pdf-renderer.dev.java.net/ Only application, can be converted to run in browser?

I found an attemp of trying to display pdf-renderer in a browser: http://www.randelshofer.ch/embedpdf/

Multivalent http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/

Ice PDF http://www.icepdf.org/

Please update with Comments.

Answer 1

There is an Apache project for PDF http://pdfbox.apache.org/.

But I don't know if it can be run in a browser.

Answer 2

PdfRenderer

render PDFs to PNGs in a server-side web application

So it can be used in web-application.

Answer 3

JPedal runs in a broswer and there is a JavaFX version as well.
