I've looked at it. It's a pretty elaborate library, too. As a quick start I found out about a tool in ExtractImages.java (in PDFBox) that has code that can be easily modified to check for colour space of images rather than writing them to disk. As for the margin checking I don't have a solution yet. A PDF processor providing XML information, as suggested by Leonard, might be the quickest path to that one. I've taken a look at pdftohtml (http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/), which also creates xml output, but I'm not too happy with it yet. Also I'll dig deeper into pdfbox.

Thanks a lot for the library and the advice I got here. Cheers, Steven ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
