Direct Known Subclasses:

ExtPDFFiller

public abstract class PdfFiller

extends java.lang.Object

Class that contains static methods to create PDF files filling fields for other PDF used like template. Steps to create a template are:

• Creates a document with a text editor (Word or similar) with a fixed text.
• Creates a pdf from this document.
• Opens PDF with default PDF reader and inserts fields.

Text to insert will have characteristics of field where is inserted. Images to insert will be adjusted automatically keeping original aspect relation.
