Thanks for taking the time to look, and for the compliment - you just made my day! > PageManager I was talking about is more low level than yours which is more > towards a LayoutManager Ooh, good feedback. Since your email, I'm planning to rename it. > A higher level API like yours could then rely on the low level API. There > might be some overlap though. Yes, I could see it being completely separate, though there is a strong dependency. The dependency made me think that it belongs with PDFBox, especially since the collection of features called iText includes layout-manager functionality. It occurs to me that you guys are getting ready for a release and might not want to consider adding a whole new feature until you start a new chunk of development. Also, it really can be released completely separately from PDFBox and you are currently breaking PDFBox up into some smaller projects. I'm thinking now of calling the project com.planbase.pdf.LayoutManager or some such thing and hosting it on GitHub under the Apache license. That will let me track it in source control and make it easier for me to move forward with it without cluttering up your mailing list. If people use it, it's just not that hard for them to have to change a few imports to reflect it being moved to a different project. You guys know it exists, and you know I'm excited about incorporating it into PDFBox if you want it there. But I think that for now, it's probably best to consider it a separate project until we are all ready to put the two together if we decide that's a good idea. When I actually make the move, I'll remove the code from the JIRA issue and replace it with a link to the GitHub project. Thanks! -Glen K. Peterson
