PdfDocument

public class PdfDocument
extends Object

This class enables generating a PDF document from native Android content. You create a new document and then for every page you want to add you start a page, write content to the page, and finish the page. After you are done with all pages, you write the document to an output stream and close the document. After a document is closed you should not use it anymore. Note that pages are created one by one, i.e. you can have only a single page to which you are writing at any given time. This class is not thread safe.

A typical use of the APIs looks like this:

 // create a new document
 PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();

 // create a page description
 PageInfo pageInfo = new PageInfo.Builder(100, 100, 1).create();

 // start a page
 Page page = document.startPage(pageInfo);

 // draw something on the page
 View content = getContentView();
 content.draw(page.getCanvas());

 // finish the page
 document.finishPage(page);
 . . .
 // add more pages
 . . .
 // write the document content
 document.writeTo(getOutputStream());

 // close the document
 document.close();
