[android-developers] Re: Android PDF Rendering

Writing your own parser/renderer is not a trivial task, particularly
when it gets to putting images into a pdf.

I just discovered PDFJet... I'm playing with it now, it's simple and
has a lot of functionality. I don't think annotations are in there
yet though. Their open-source version doesn't support a few things
like word-wrapping, but their commercial licensing is only $297 (at
least for the "little guys" like me)

iText costs a small fortune (several thousand $) to use for commercial
apps, although it does have much more functionality than PDFJet, like
forms and encryption. This massive library seems to support
everything PDF, including annotations.
