Hi all,
fresh on freshmeat:

Can this be used to provide tests for the PDF renderer?

I am using it in a project which provides on-line searchable PDF files 
(Government Acts and Regulations) indexed using Lucene and in that 
context it works fine, that is as a backend activity PDFBox extracts 
the text components from the PDF for Lucene to index and as an on-line 
activity once matching documents are found the PDF is searched again 
using PDFBox to find the search terms in the PDF file so an Acrobat 
highlight XML file can be constructed.

Theoretically, yes, but I currently don't see any real added value
compared to layoutengine+visual tests. And after all, someone would have
to write them. :-)

If we had something like that for RTF it would be preferred. :-) I'd
prefer anything to remote controlling Word.

But the underlying PDF library looks quite interesting (PDFBox). Has
anyone had any experiences with it? If yes, we should add it to our PDF
post-processors list on the website, if just because it has a better
license than iText.
