Hello, I would like to produce a PDF file programmatically in my application. I have found that itext (http://itextpdf.com/) does the job but that the later versions are covered by the AGPL rather than the LGPL which as far as I understand means that if the application is sold then I need to purchase the license for $1,500 which is quite a lot especially given that I do not know in advance how many copies of my application will sell. I have found that there is a bundle from a previous version called droid text: http://code.google.com/p/droidtext/downloads/list which is based on the LGPL so that users don't have to pay for it.
I wonder if anyone knows what the differences are between the old version and the new version. Are the APIs compatible and what more does the new version (currently 5.1.3) offer besides PDF 2 support that the former version does not? I would like to hear from anyone whom has used droid pdf. Also, where do I save the PDF? I would like to fire a browser intent which attaches the generated PDF file as an attachment. Anyone know how to do that? Where on the file system can I save the generated PDF and can I specify the PDF as an intent bundle extra?
