If you want to implement it from scratch, the adobe PDF Reference is where you will want to start: https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

However, I would strongly advise you use a library that already exists because PDFs are fairly complex. Here are a couple options besides PDFBox:

• iText PDF
• Apache FOP
