Querying the design document of PDFBox

Hello PDFBox team,

I am Abhishek Garg. I want to modify PDFBox api to make it suitable for
Android SDK. So I need to understand what is the functionality of each
class and its functions. Analyzing each line of code would take quite a
time.
I am hereby asking you guys to please send me the design document of API so
that I can understand the whole functionality. And develop an idea of which
Classes to be modified and what modifications are needed.
Hope to hear from you guys!

Thanks

There is no such document. But here's a presentation of the project:

Which functionality do you want to use on Android? E.g text extraction, form filling, rendering? I ask this because there are certain AWT features which it's going to be very difficult to port to Android. We've looked at this in the past and don't yet have a solution.

There isn't any design document but we do have an architecture summary here:

http://pdfbox.apache.org/1.8/architecture.html

As well as complete API docs on our website.
