I already know that there are tons of similar questions and threads like that, but since I am fairly new to this topic (especially java/pdf creation), I really don't know what to do and where I could get further help. As a part of a project I have to create invoices as a pdf. I already successfully implemented the apache pdfbox via maven into intellij and created my first test-pdf, but I really don't know what to do next/where to start in general. Until now the invoices have been created manually, e.g.: customers buys something, some kind of report is generated, customer-id and stuff will be inserted into "word-invoice-blank-formular" and send via mail. Every required informations are stored in an access database and should also be included in the report.
I don't even want a full blown solution, I just need a couple of more information on what to do next and maybe some hints or whatever .. Thanks in advance!
