PDF Report Generator (java, written by Claude Code)

Claude Code wrote this java project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: PDF Report Generator

Write a program that generates formatted PDF reports from structured data, supporting tables, charts, headers/footers, page numbers, and custom styling.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a JSON data file as a command-line argument containing the report content and structure
- Support report elements: title page, headings (multiple levels), paragraphs, tables, bullet/numbered lists, images (embedded from file paths), page breaks, and horizontal rules
- Support table rendering with configurable column widths, header rows, alternating row colors, and cell alignment (left, center, right)
- Support basic charts embedded in the report: bar charts, line charts, and pie charts, with data specified in the JSON input
- Support headers and footers on each page with configurable content (report title, date, page number, custom text)
- Support automatic page numbering with configurable format via --page-format flag (e.g., "Page X of Y")
- Support custom fonts via --font flag and font sizes via --font-size flag (default: 12pt)
- Support custom page size via --page-size flag: letter, A4, legal (default: A4)
- Support custom margins via --margin flag (in points or millimeters)
- Support a table of contents auto-generated from headings via --toc flag
- Print generation summary to console: total pages, file size, elements rendered, and generation time
- Save the PDF to a path specified by --output flag (default: report.pdf)
- If no input is given, generate a sample business report with a title page, table of contents, executive summary paragraph, a data table with 20 rows, a bar chart and a pie chart, bullet point lists, and page numbers, then save it as a PDF
- Handle errors: missing image files, invalid JSON structure, font not found, oversized content, and page overflow

Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output
