Hi,
I have completed some parts of the the GSoC proposal and I need some
feedback from the community about the that. Here a I used swing approach
since I have some doubts about RCP. Anyway I also understand RCP will
easy approach rather than this and if someone going to help me on that I'm
still ready to go in that way. Still I have to prepare 'Project Timeline
and Deliverables' part and I will send those part soon.
*Project Title*
*=============*
Implement PDF object inspector and enhance features of PDFReader GUI
*Abstract*
*========*
PDFReader is small GUI application which comes with Apache PDFBox pure java
PDF library. Currently it is only capable of rendering PDFs. This project
is to redesign PDFReader GUI with plugin framework and implement some
developer oriented features for it. Primary objectives of project are as
follows.
(1). Design a plugin framework for the PDFReader.
+1
(2). Implement PDF basic viewing features. (Zooming, rotating, page
thumbnail viewer)
+1
(3). Implement a PDF object inspector to display PDF object properties.
Could be complicated ...
(4). Implement a type-writer feature to add/remove text from a content
stream.
IMO, you should consider to drop this idea. The search/replace feature was
discussed many times on the mailing list. As PDF is not a text oriented format,
it is even difficult to find text but much more complicated to replace it.
