You can use pdfBox to render onto a AWT graphics surface. It is open source, and there are a lot of things not-yet-implemented and errors all over the place. It is the only free solution that I could find.

I actually had to patch his code a bunch to make it work for my needs. I submitted those patches to the project manager, but he has yet to get back to me.

Feel free to post here if you have any problems.

As an alternative, you could use GhostView (or GSView) to convert the pdf to a form that you can load into your panel. There are a number of alternative formats they can produce. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm
