You are either very brave or very stupid.

I prefer to think people hand-rollings PDFs are brave.
I started doing the same thing over 10 years ago.
The result 10 years later is more than 150K lines of code,
and two books: http://itextpdf.com/book/

The second book will be released next week,
and this is the first review: http://bit.ly/asLSXc

"All in all, the book is well written and the examples are vastly 
improved over the first book. If you are creating a system for 
generating ad hoc reports, programmatically generating PDFs on the fly 
for web or other applications, modifying existing PDFs without their 
original documentation or doing just about anything else with PDFs, this 
is the book you need. Highly recommended." John Griffon
