PDFOne Java is a 100% Java library that was envisaged as a one-stop solution for all PDF-related tasks that software developers would like to have in their Java applications.

A comprehensive package of basic and advanced features including:

Version 1.3 (Released in November 2006)
PDFOne Java brought CMYK support for JPEG and BMP images.
It allowed you to stitch several pages together to form one page (side to side, one on top of another, or overlapping).
You could create and edit watermark annotations.
Support for translucent text, images, and shapes was added.
Version 2 (Expected through first half of 2007)
You can expect some highly sought-after features for:

Among new features, PDFOne Java will have the ability to extract individual PDF elements from the contents of a page.
It will also be able to convert PDF files to popular image formats.
Support for PDF color spaces and Adobe-defined CMAP files are in the pipeline.
PDF/A-compliant PDF output will also be added.
