Adding Swing Component to PDF File - java

Is there any method to add JTextbox, JButton, JLable in Pdf file through java coding using iText?
How can I add such component in pdf file? So that by using setLayout and setBounds method I can place them any where in my PDF file through java coding.

No you can't do this. Swing Components are Java Classes and can't be used inside PDF Files.

You can add a "copy" / screenshot image of the Swing component, but not the component itself.

You cannot use swing components in pdfs. However pdf allows to create fields in pdf with Acrobat Reader/Pro. If you want to do it programatically with java, so there is a tutorial with iText here.

You can do other way round.Open a pdf file using Swing components and add desired effects.Here is a link you can follow.

How to visualize a pdf in Java Swing frame using Apache pdfbox 2.0.8 whitout converting it to an image

I'm looking for sample codes that allow me to display a PDF file in a Java Swing window. I saw an example in Apache SVN but it turns them into images, besides it does not work because I have particular fonts that it can not handle.

Writing simple RTF files in Java

I am using Java 6, Windows XP, Eclipce Java EE IDE Juno, Swing.
Im looking for the simplest solution without adding any new librarys.
To describe my question i will first start with describing my goal.
My idea is to print out in the following format:
Heading
subHeading
stuffs stuffs stuffs
stuffs stuffs stuffs
I would like to get to this goal by using RTF file format.
What i have concluded is that i should probably use JEditorPane and some how add line by line formated text into the editor.
After im done i would like to write the JEditorPane to file and save it.
So, that said. There are some questionmarks here i do not seem to figure out.
What "standard" class can i use to create RTF formated string lines?
Is JEditorPane the best container for a RTF document?
Thanks for your time!
The documentation has everything you need. (http://goo.gl/EJSpx)
Create javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit by calling createEditorKitForContentType
Add newly created editorkit to JEditorPane by calling registerEditorKitForContentType (notice that support for RTF is limited)
Hope this put you on the right path.

how to create anti-aliased text images in java

Is there a standard way of creating images (PNGs preferably) in Java that antialiases the text properly?
I'd like to avoid iText due to licensing issues, although this is for an open source project.
Batik can do this.
