I am using iText to creating PDF files. How do I print the created PDF from Java application (i.e. Application Server)? Is there any good open source?

Thanks for the info. I am looking for pure java API solution which is platform independent.

The https://pdf-renderer.dev.java.net/ library can do a number of things that may be helpful with printing PDFs.
