How to create PDF file.

[himanshu patel]

Hi all,
Is there any JAVA API to convert simple text/html files to PDF files?
As we do in JAVA to write text file, similarly is it possible through Java to open PDF file
and write to it.
I mean something like, open PDF file first and then write strings to it as we do for TEXT file.
Basically I need to write report in PDF file through servlet/JSP.
Can someone help in this regard?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
