Replacing PDF text using PDFBox

Question

I wanted to create invoice pdf's with a pdf template. It requires to replace 10 or more texts inside the pdf. PDFBox doesn't seems to be supporting direct text replacing. Is there a way to do this with PDFBOX? (found one token replace method but seems to be taking much processing to do the small task)

Answer 1

PDFBox had the replace text functionality but was removed ( https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/migration.html#why-was-the-replacetext-example-removed ), I would use Jaspersoft Studio ( http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/jaspersoft-studio ) instead, it's easy to use.

Jaspersoft Studio does not operate on a "pdf template", but on JasperReports templates. Those then may be exported to PDF.
