No there isn't. PDFBox offers only the low level stuff that PDF has. You'll have to do it yourself. For example if you want to draw yellow circles on a PDF

You'll have to do it the hard way, see here how to draw a circle:

Obviously, PDF can't do methods that need special paper. If your printing needs special colors or very fine lines, then you'd have to it yourself, by drawing in these colors / line widths.
