Grails and pdf generation

any experiences creating pdfs programmatically in Grails using some of the numerous java libs available ?  Snippets are welcomed ! 
Thanks

A:

Grails Rendering Plugin is the best option out there. 
You just do a GSP (HTML+CSS) and it simply give you a PDF!  Simple and fast!

you can try the plugins Dynamic Jasper or the jasper plugin.  The Dynamic Jasper plugin generates reports of your domain-class pretty simple, allowing customization of the reports.  The Jasper plugin has tags to manipulate reports.  The links contains snippets and samples.

Another option is using any XSL-FO rendering library like Apache FOP.
