jPDFNotes is a very useful Java bean that integrates into your application to display forms and PDF documents and allow your users to annotate the documents and fill the forms. After editing documents, the library can save them to a local file or the host application can override the save function to save the file to any location locally or on a network.
jPDFNotes is built on top of Qoppa's proprietary PDF technology so your users do not have to install Acrobat Reader or any other third party software or drivers. jPDFNotes is 100% Java so it is completely platform independent and so can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OSX and any other platform that supports the Java runtime environment.
