The PDF Viewer can be tailored to include just the features you need, and is a cost-effective solution for those needing the features of Adobe Reader on a Java platform.

Java PDF Reader does not require any client installation or third party programs, it is a self contained Java component that can be deployed in a Java application or a web application (in a web page as an applet, or a Java webstart application).
