PDF printing through Java

Hi all,

Does anyone know a good way of printing a PDF through Java using
JDK1.3, paid or otherwise.

We can not use any version of JRE apart from JRE1.3. Runtime.Exec
Acrobat reader is not working out since we are not able to trap errors
properly.

Regards,
Chandan

Maverick,

There is an open source report project called Jasper Reports which can
output pdf files. The project is maintained on SourceForge.

Hope it helps

I think the problem is printing existing PDF's, not creating them.
Have a peek at the iText website http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ I think they
have a forum or FAQ that might give you some ideas.
