If you want to implement it from scratch, the adobe PDF Reference is where you will want to start: https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

However, I would strongly advise you use a library that already exists because PDFs are fairly complex. Here are a couple options besides PDFBox:

In case you are asking this question purely out of curiosity & understanding like me then you can check this article that I created purely out of curiosity. But for professional work please prefer libraries so that you can focus on content of PDF instead of structure & specifications of PDF.

This is basic example of hello world PDF in pure Java without any external library with detailed explanation.
