Hi folks,

PDFBox always creates a PDFBox.log file in the current directory; it
seems that this behaviour can only be altered by changing the source in
LoggingObject (see:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-pdfbox-users/200903.mbox/%3ca372432a0903301722y6f96f6e0pb1e22c398d1a3...@mail.gmail.com%3e
).

I am using PDFBox in an application where users do not have write
permission to a common installation location, so every call to PDFBox
fails because the logfile could not be created/appended to.

Is there some better way to disable or redirect (to a different folder)
the log than to alter the source?
I've tried to use a log4j.properties file, but as I am a log4j newbie I
didn't have success...

Wouldn't it be better if PDFBox did not to require a writeable log file
in the current directory? (But perhaps would continue with a console
logger or something?)


Thanks for any suggestions!


Best regards,
