How to create Table using Apache PDFBox

Question

We are planning to migrate our pdf generation utilities from iText to PDFBox (Due to licensing issues in iText). With some effort, I was able to write and position text, draw lines etc. But creating Tables with text embedded in Table cells is a challenge, I went through the documentation, examples, Google, Stackoverflow couldn't find a thing. Was wondering if PDFBox provides native support for creating Tables with embedded text. My last resort would be to use this link https://github.com/eduardohl/Paginated-PDFBox-Table-Sample

Answer 1

Thanks to the links provided by Tilman. Using the boxable API (https://github.com/dhorions/boxable) I was able to create the table I wanted to. Just an FYI I wanted to create the table with variable number of cells. For example row 1 would have 2 cells, row 2 could have 5 cells and row 3 could have just 3 cells. I was able to do with ease. I followed Example1.java in the link mentioned above.
