my improvements:
at page http://pdfbox.apache.org/building.html
> You can obtain the latest source of PDFBox from SVN
make a link to SVN repository
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk) ?
i think most contributer will know a simple contribution start:
for me it was:
Steps to contribute (a dokumentation page)
1. find the checkout url (i used github) but should
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk
2. set eclipse formatting
Window->Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter
and import pdfbox-eclipse-formatter
3. start coding
4. create patch (Team -> Create Patch)
5. create issue at (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX)
One Issue for each atomic change (classes in one package)
Avoid reformatting the code.
6. upload patch to ticket
7. wait ;)
would be great if such a simple step by step guid can be found at the
project site.
BTW: the new website is great.

Hi,
if possible create a ticket and attach a patch to it. There are some hints on
coding conventions at http://pdfbox.apache.org/codingconventions.html. If it’s
possible for you we’d appreciate if you could follow these as it makes it
easier for us to include the patches.
SVN is the VC system we are using as you already found out.
As we do enhance our documentation maybe you could provide some hints for us
about what’s missing to get these questions answered quickly so we can add that
to your and others benefit.
Thank you for your interest in making PDFbox better.

i found pdfbox on github https://github.com/apache/pdfbox
i can remember that there was a disscussion on how to contribute to the
projects (commons or pdfbox)
i missing the contribution or source link at the website and a hint if it is
better to create tickets (how i did it, http://pdfbox.apache.org/building.html
it seams svn is the default VC system ) or to create a pull request at github.
(sources in sync?)
