LWGLIN's Journal: SUN releases PDF Renderer

As announced on Joshua Marinacci's blog, SUN released a 100% Java PDF renderer and viewer. Combined with a PDF generation tool such as iText, Java developers no longer have reasons not to use PDF as the ultimate document format.

PDF is not a document format

PDF is to document, what is binaries (compiled code) to source code

That's very well said! I'm referring to PDF as a Document Format because that's what PDF originally stands for: Portable Document Format. It all depends on your point of view. From where I stand, PDF is a Document Format; but from the general point of view, your remark is more accurate.
