This question can be a duplicate to How to create Table using Apache PDFBox. But, I found two solutions which are build on Apache PDFBox.

  • easytable, I used this to create tables, it has some good features like table extends into new page when reaches the bottom of current page. But I found difficulty in adding both text & image into same cell, multi styles texts into same cell. If any of these are your requirements better check for alternatives.

  • boxable, Not much familiar with this, but heard that it has some nice features like converting csv data into table directly.

    I think "multi styles texts in same cell" is possible as stated in the README.md: https://github.com/vandeseer/easytable#paragraph-cells – jmizv Feb 02 '22 at 13:07
