Hi Maruan, Right now rendering is in a state of flux, it’s changing a lot and we often have to refactor in order to gain new functionality in a clean manner. Once things stabilise a bit more we should certainly create some more documentation, but right now it will be out of date within a week.
The quickest most effective summary I can give at the moment is to look at the newly added PDFRenderer class. This is the point from where all rendering is coordinated most of which is done by PageDrawer, though the recent Pattern drawing changes mean that PageDrawer no longer draws a page, it draws a “content stream" so it will probably be changed soon too. You get the idea… :) If you have any specific questions regarding rendering, feel free to ask. -- John On 10 Mar 2014, at 00:08, Maruan Sahyoun <sahy...@fileaffairs.de> wrote: > Hi, > > I’m currently enhancing the documentation for PDFBox with some more samples, > code snippets etc. > > For the developer section would it be possible that someone - maybe John or > Tilman as they are most familiar with the rendering code - writes up a small > introductory article about how rendering works in PDFBox.
