Answer 1

PDFs cannot be created using PDFbox in Android

PDFBox (lastest release, 1.5) is not compatible with Android.

Correct, like @Gili said, because of AWT dependencies. Android has no AWT nor Swing related classes in its Runtime.

I recently did a port of PDFBox to Android. This is only for text extraction from PDF documents. You can find it here - https://github.com/RatheeshRavindran/PDFBoxLight Please note it is still a 'Beta' release.
