Some of the command line utilities are already described at [1] and some other documentation can be found at [2], so that will be a good point to start. IMHO, the following command line tools should be described anyway: - PDFSplit, PDFMerger, Overlay - PDFReader - PDFDebugger These can be found here [3]. Probably we should describe some/all of the examples which can be found here [4]. The sources for the documentation itself can be found here [5] BR Andreas Lehmkühler [1] http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/index.html [2] http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/index.html [3] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/ [4] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/ [5] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/src/site/ > > Kind regards > > Maruan Sahyoun > > Am 09.03.2010 um 07:58 schrieb Andreas Lehmkuehler: > > > Hi, > > > > Michael Müller schrieb: > >> Daniel, > >> Yes, I found some activities on the lists.
