Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer

The Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer is a useful tool for individuals who do not require full API accessibility. The viewer can be installed and used as an Applet or application, embedded in a Swing application, or accessed via Java Web Start. With features such as printing, saving, text search, forms, digital signatures, and annotations, the viewer can be customized to include only the necessary features, making it a cost-effective option for those who require Adobe Acrobat capabilities on a Java platform.

Furthermore, the PDF Viewer and PDF Library are distributed in the same package, ensuring that it remains up-to-date. As for its benefits, the Java PDF Viewer is a cheaper alternative to the full PDF Library, as it does not grant API access to the primary library. Additionally, it cannot create new PDF documents, and any editing must be done through the Swing interface, which supplies a large number of features for customization purposes.

These features are ideal for limited functionality viewer distribution as part of an application. For web application use, the PDF Viewer can be embedded as an Applet and easily controlled through its internal controls or by external JavaScript. All in all, the Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer is a valuable and efficient tool for those in need of Adobe Acrobat capabilities on a Java platform.
