How can I pretty-print Java source code as a PDF?

For this purpose, I created a LaTeX doclet. This is a Javadoc doclet, which converts the javadoc comments to LaTeX code, and (if wanted) also includes a pretty-printed version of the source code of the documented methods.

You can then convert the generated LaTeX document to PDF, and append it to your report.


I usually prefer to install a PDF "psuedo" printer in whatever OS I am using. That way I can use the print facilities of whatever app I am using (like Eclipse for example) and get the result in PDF file.

EDIT:

Here is one example of a pseudo printer, this for the Windows platform. Mac OS X has a built in "print to PDF file" capability.


If you use Windows, install CutePDF. This adds a "Printer" that when you print to it it asks you a file name and then prints the output to a .pdf document on your hard drive - hence it is a psuedo printer - it acts like a printer, but is really a pdf file writer.

Don't know solutions for other o/s...
