  • OpenPDF

    OpenPDF is a free Java library for creating and editing PDF files, with a LGPL and MPL open source license. OpenPDF is based on a fork of iText. We welcome contributions from other developers. Please feel free to submit pull-requests and bugreports to this GitHub repository.

    • IANAL, but if it's this (https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF) it seems to be LGPL, which means you can use it with a closed source, commercial app. There are additional restrictions however, so it'd be wise to do some more thorough reading around the license and what it allows (and doesn't.)
