With jPDFViewer, you can deliver content to your users right through your application without the need to install third party programs. jPDFViewer is platform independent, so it can be used in any environment that supports Java, including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

jPDFViewer has a simple interface to load PDF documents and provides navigation and printing capability. It can open PDF files given a file name on a local or network drive, from a URL and from an input stream for files that are generated runtime or come from a database. jPDFViewer can be embedded within a standalone Java application as well as a Java applet in a browser. jPDFViewer provides access to its toolbar and all the functions that it implements.
