Recently we shared some information regarding the autoported Aspose.Pdf for Java, in which most of the features that are currently present in Aspose.Pdf for .NET, will become available. In fact, the autoported version will be a merged API, that is, Aspose.Pdf for Java and Aspose.Pdf.Kit for Java, and a new DOM API. The reason we felt the need to port .NET code to Java is because our .NET product line is much stronger (in terms of functionality & features) than the Java product line.
