John Jackson commented on PDFBOX-45:
------------------------------------

Hello all. 

First of all, I just want to say that this is a great project. I work for a small software development company, and we've been struggling with finding a pdf solution that includes tagging as well as XFA support. Most libraries that do this stuff run into the thousands of dollars, so I was very excited to find pdfbox.

However, our current need is for XFA support that doesn't break Adobe's security. I've read through this issue and kind of understand the issues, but it's a bit out of my league to fix. I saw that some people know how to work around this issue. I would be grateful if you could provide an experimental branch or more specific details of how to work around the issue.

In particular, Hari's code snippet creates a new constructor for COSWriter that accepts a list of objects to write. But I'm not sure what logic to use to populate that list.

Thanks in advance for any guidance / branches you can provide.
