New small pdfbox project to repaginate simplex-scanned duplex documents
I've written a small Apache-licensed app to "repaginate" PDF documents
scanned from double-sided papers with a single-sided scanner. The URL
for the project is http://www.simplexrepaginator.com/ . I don't know if
anyone keeps track of nifty examples of pdfbox, but I think this might
be one. I use it all the time when digitizing my household files.
I didn't see a "used by" section or its equivalent on the pdfbox
website. Would this be a good time to make one?

I added your project to our references list.

Oh, I didn't saw that page, sorry for that. But one additional comment from the
peanut gallery, all apache projects are named like this: "Apache XXX". Please
fix that if you can spare some cycles.

I don't need it, but most likely there are others who might look for something
like that.

I didn't have anything particular in mind, I've just (I think!) seen
some of the other Apache libraries list other projects that use them.
The "simplex repaginator" tool just seemed to me like the sort of neato
use of PDFBox that might be worth mentioning, but I certainly have no
expectations.

Well, you're already in the "Credits" page:
http://www.simplexrepaginator.com/credits/ But given that the whole
thing relies so heavily on PDFBox it certainly makes sense to make that
a bit more prominent.

We have a reference section [1]. What do you expect us to do? Should we add your
code as example or do want to be listed on our reference list?
BTW: it would be nice if you give us some credit on your page as well. Something
like "Using Apache PDFBox" including a link to our website. :-)
