--------------------------------------------

Do we really need a ICLA / CCLA in this case?
{quote}
There are no explicit rules to decide that, just a rule of thumb: only
substantial changes require signing a CLA. IMO an example on how to use PDFBox
doesn't qualify for that. It simply uses PDFBox and doesn't add any new
features.

The Apache header you've used is for ASF projects, e.g. "Licensed to the Apache
Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements."
isn't true unless you've signed a CLA and contributed this code to Apache.

Good catch. That should be changed to the more general version of the AL 2.0
which can be found [here|http://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0] in the
APPENDIX section at the end.

I’d also vote for taking this sample as is and include that in 1.8.x
{quote}
+1, we agreed to stop adding any new features to the 1.8 branch. But as this is
just an example I don't see any reason not to add it.

> Components: Utilities
> Reporter: Joël Kuiper
>
> An often heard request is to be able to highlight a certain text within a PDF
> programmatically, similar to the highlight functionality in Acrobat or
> Preview.app.
> The actual implementation of this functionality is trickier than it appears,
> since it requires the calculation of bouding boxes from TextPositions.
> A example class may help people with implementing this (common)
> functionality.
