Big Faceless PDF Library is a commercial Java API for reading and writing Portable Document Format (PDF) documents, first released in June 2001. There are three versions available:
- The Standard Edition allows the creation of new PDF documents.
- The Extended Edition adds the ability to read, edit and save existing PDF documents, and to read and write values from the PDF Form, including XFA forms and Electronic signatures.
- The Extended Edition plus Viewer adds the ability to render a PDF to a Bitmap image, for printing with the Java Print API or for display on screen. The "Viewer" is a set of Swing components which can be used to display and edit PDF's in a similar fashion to Adobe Acrobat in an applet, a standalone application or as part of a larger application.
