How do I display PDF files

Hi,

I am developing a GUI application that needs to display the content of various PDF files. These files include text, tables and images. One requirement is that I use only freeware. Does anybody know of a free Java library that handles the display/viewing of PDF files?

Many thanks,

Mira

Gervini,

Thank you for your responses. I did some extensive searching on the internet and found a lot of open source libraries that deal with PDF files. However, I need to view/display the pdf files and that seems to be a feature that only few offer. For example the Big Faceless PDF library offers this feature - but only in the extended edition (lots of $s).

Gervini,as an add-on to my last email and to be more specific. I don't need a PDF desktop viewer (like Acrobat) - I need a library that allows me to read the content of an existing PDF file and display it's content in a JFrame.Mira
