Only for the curious ones ... if we talk about classes you are right, 
they can coexist because of the different namespaces. But there is a 
property file to configure what class (fully qualified classname) is 
used to process a pdf operator when parsing a document. Obviously the 
old property file is used in conjunction with the new jar or vice versa..
