Thanks for the patch, Sean.

Developers, do you see this as the best way to go?  If so, I'll be glad to apply the patch.

> LoggingObject logs all pdfbox output to a file PDFBox.log using java.util.logging.  The app may not have permission to create this file, the user probably won't be looking at it for errors, and for long running server tasks, this file may grow very large.
> It would be much nicer to simply use apache commons logging (or even SLF4J) and allow the application to setup logging as they see fit.
