Patches are welcome ;-)

Maybe our examples [1] are a good starting point

Hi Andrea,

Due to not being able to find any documentation my boss has decided to go
another route for the time being.   I do want to thank you for the link to
the examples as I think I might be able to use PDFBox in the future and
your link will be invaluable for getting a start with the library.
