class PDF extends java.lang.Object
A light weight PDF Builder for creating PDFs to show results.
To create a PDF, instantiate a PDF object and use the document(String, Closure) method to initiate the building of a PDF document.
Example:
new PDF().document("test.pdf") {
title("This is My PDF")
br()
p("This is a PDF document")
color("RED") { bold {
p("This paragraph is red and bold")
} }
table {
head {
cells("Name","Age","Height")
}
cells("Simon", 18, 168)
color("BLUE") { cell("Peter") } // Peter will be blue!
cells(28, 92)
}
// Note: the image will be autoscaled and centered
img("test.jpg")
}
Note: This implementation is based on iText, a PDF generation library that changed from MPL to LGPL then to AGPL. This implementation is compatible with the original MPL licensed version. Some people consider it unwise or unethical to use that version but this is obviously an individual judgement to be made.
