Which is better iText or PDFBox?

One major difference is that PDFBox always processes text glyph by glyph while iText normally processes it chunk (i.e. single string parameter of text drawing operation) by chunk; that reduces the required resources in iText quite a lot.

Can you duplicate a PDF page?

You can also choose where to place the duplicate in your document. To duplicate a page: Go to the Insert tab and click the Insert button in PAGE feature. In the pop-up menu, choose Duplicate.

I prefer outputting my data into XML (using Castor, XStream or JAXB), then transforming it using a XSLT stylesheet into XSL-FO and render that with Apache FOP into PDF. Worked so far for 10-page reports and 400-page manuals. I found this more flexible and stylable than generating PDFs in code using iText.

Following are few libraries to create PDF with Java:

  1. iText
  2. Apache PDFBox
  3. BFO

I have used iText for genarating PDF's with a little bit of pain in the past.

Or you can try using FOP: FOP is an XSL formatter written in Java. It is used in conjunction with an XSLT transformation engine to format XML documents into PDF.
