Sorry if this is old news to you all. :)
Absolutely not, at least I did not know anything about this library or your work ;). Thanks a lot for the precise information you provide, and sorry for the far-too-long answer time!
Your project sounds pretty interesting indeed. I can't tell much from http://source.wendt.se/, apart that there seem to be a web GUI? Is your software already usable, and how, and with which features, and by which kind of user?
Well, my work is very limited and targeted towards real estate firms (or any corporation with a fairly fixed set of templates to use). It is being used and works well, though entering new clients, accounts and templates means you need to INSERT all details by hand into a Postgres SQL database (font, color, size, x&y coordinates in pt (points, not pixels) ...). (source.wendt.se contains other projects as well.) The documentation is non-existent as I did all of this over two weekends for a former colleague - with no intention of ever being useful to someone else really. (The code is fairly well unittested though.)
I don't think my work in particular is very interesting. iText on the other hand is - it's a great tool for generating Open PDF files and I think it deserves being promoted as an option to Adobe's server side PDF generation software.
