I am this discuss beginer.
Sorry for late reply.I just came back from China Spring Festival and

I study a lot from your reply.I summary next:
* Not only a reader,it's a PDFBoxGUI:reader,editor,other tools
* There are no APL/ASL PDF GUI
* Everyone like the idea but have no much time.We are busy :)
* plug-ins
other PDF GUI (open source,share or commercial)
* inforama ( http://www.inforama.org )

About Me:
I am a java teacher and programer。I seek projects for my student.It's
difficult to develop PDFBox GUI for my students,because they student
one year up to 2010-7-1.They can complete a plugin at the mentor's
help。I am the mentor.
I can contribute 15 hour every hour.Write mail is slow for me,I'd like
to write wiki or code.

Ya Pivot is cool. Though I have not used it till now as I am less into Java
now a days, I liked it, well even considering to use it to create a small
visual language. The samples demonstrated are great. We can use it as that
is also an apache project and I would really love to see it load a really
big PDF with Images :).

Pivot doesn't have any built-in plugin system, but it certainly could be
built at the app-level. PIVOT-22 is a forward-looking ticket that tracks
what we might do in the future to hook into OSGi.

@Mel
I know Pivot and write a introduce in Chinese then publish it in
http://nisen.javaeye.com。
It's another GUI API in addition to SWT 、 Swing、JavaFX, base of Swing
or JavaME(MIDP)。It's another RCP frame in addition to Eclipse RCP.
It's helpful for me to study it,but not high priority。If you use pivot
you'd better study
Swing。I teach student Swing,introduce Pivot after they are familiar with Swing.
I choose Pivot for this project after a prototyping。

Pivot is cool.
For those unfamiliar, aside from being a very nice widget library, Pivot
follows a 'XUL' style of development model. That is, you declaratively
define your UI with an xml markup language (WTKX) and then you just feed
that document to a renderer, which creates the Java object hierarchy based
on the document. So long as the object classes are visible to the renderer,
it can create them. The primary focus here is for UI objects, but in
reality most any simple Java object graph can be described and generated
this way. The same xml markup can be used to deploy an application into
different contexts (web, desktop, mobile device) simply by having different
rendered implementations appropriate to the context.
I don't want to dictate what the exact development model should be since
others will probably kick this off. But Pivot is very easy to get an
application started and has a very clean development and deployment 'story'.
Plus it is generally a good thing to leverage other Apache projects. See
http://pivot.apache.org/index.html
and:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/tutorials/x-pivottut/index.html
for more info.

Hi nisen,
A 'lens' is (simplest example) the piece of glass in your eyeglasses or the pieces of glass in a telescope, microscope, etc.
A lens bends light to allow us to see things better.
A GUI for viewing / introspecting / modifying PDF documents is analogous to a 'lens' with which to 'see' the document better.
I hope this is helpful.

what mean is "Lens" ? Is There no more meaning ?
I have no good title. I think you can give more name,then we disscuss it.
I have found that the greatest demand is pdf debugging. So I started

What about 'PDFLens' --> implies the viewer and any introspection capabilities.
Doesn't sell editing capabilities, but I don't think that should be a big deal.
Just tossing it into the ring ... :-)

PDFDbg is good if the target audience is developers & researchers. If
it's to be a general replacement for Adobe Acrobat Standard, then I don't
think that name really makes sense.
We could always just choose an animal, that seems to be a popular theme
(Pidgin, Firefox, FoxIt, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, etc.). Plus then we'd
already have an idea of what the logo should look like. Having said that,
it seems most of the cool names I came up with along these lines were
already taken.

Re: [idea] PdfReader In Google Summer of Code 2010
Posted by nisen <ni...@gmail.com>.
openpdf was used by other.I find three from google. and download them
and test it.
1. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpdf/
a java pdf gui use pdfbox-0.1.0-dev. The Lisence is LGPL..There is
only one release 0.1 in sf.net. The greater version is commercial
Lisence,may be .
2. http://www.openpdf.co.uk/
maybe a trademark in English
3. http://openpdf.huihoo.org/
in china . only a wrapper of
http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/index.html
'sumatrapdf' is a c++ base pdf reader
I choose one name,then google it,find the exclusive name.
I still think the 'PDFBox GUI' is not so cool, but it is plain.The
name is Low profile(低调) in Chinese :)
I choose org.apache.pdfbox.gui.* . If the project grow graduate.It may
be migration to pdfbox.

Re: [idea] PdfReader In Google Summer of Code 2010
Posted by Ad...@swmc.com.
Why use org.apachechina.* instead of the standard org.apache.*?
As for a name, how about OpenPDF? As it will be a simple open source PDF
manipulation (reader/writer) program, it seems to make sense.

Even I can contribute to this in my free time, but I agree that it should be

I would support the idea of building these GUI tools and if I can find the free time, would even contribute code or at least testing.
But it should be implemented as a separate project that is dependent on PDFBox.
My concern is keeping PDFBox itself somewhat cohesive at being a library of services.
Doing it this way also gives you the advantage of targeting a specific version (i.e. the latest 'release' version) of PDFBox upon which to build the GUI, rather than the moving target that is the development version.
'Need a good name for the project.
Just my $.02.
