iText is a very popular Java library that can be used to create/manipulate PDF documents. It's used by Adobe, IBM, Google,... and many other companies. I started writing a book about iText in 2005; the book was published in december 2006. Since January 2007, I own a company called 1T3XT.
I'm specialized in PDF document solutions (automating the production of documents with 10,000+ pages).
