[android-developers] PDF on android: request for comments

Hello,

I would like to produce a PDF file programmatically in my application.
I have found that itext (http://itextpdf.com/) does the job but that the
later versions are covered by the AGPL rather than the LGPL which
as far as I understand means that if the application is sold then I need
to purchase the license for $1,500 which is quite a lot especially given
that I do not know in advance how many copies of my application will
sell. I have found that there is a bundle from a previous version called
droid text: http://code.google.com/p/droidtext/downloads/list
which is based on the LGPL so that users don't have to pay
for it.

I wonder if anyone knows what the differences are between the old
version and the new version. Are the APIs compatible and what more
does the new version (currently 5.1.3) offer besides PDF 2 support that
the former version does not? I would like to hear from anyone whom has
used droid pdf.

Also, where do I save the PDF? I would like to fire a browser intent which
attaches the generated PDF file as an attachment. Anyone know how to
do that? Where on the file system can I save the generated PDF and can
I specify the PDF as an intent bundle extra?

Thanks,

JG
