-----------------------------------------------------------------
Improving PDFDebugger is part of GSoC2015 and this will only be done by the
student to be announced on April 27. (As it happens, [~kbashar] is one of the
two students; both students have asked for some smaller tasks here)
PDFReader is not nearing its end of life - this would be the case if there
would be a new product "almost ready" that displays files from the command
line, but there isn't and nobody is working on it, and there are no plans to.
Could be something for GSoC2016, but I think this would be too small, as we
don't need another Adobe Reader, we just need something to display the PDF
Files to test the rendering.
PDFReader doesn't have an API, it is just a command line tool. There is no need
to keep it painful to use.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2748
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Swing GUI
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: khyrul bashar
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Attachments: recentfiles_pdfreader.diff
>
>
> A recently opened file list containing menu in pdf reader will be a nice
> feature in PDF reader.
> I've made a patch for this. A new package under org.apache.pdfbox.tools is
> created named util which contains the class RecentFiles so that this can be
> used in feature improvement of other GUI tools PDFBox provides.
> In RecentFiles class, file path string is saved in preference by converting
> and breaking them into byte array. To do That, I've followed this
> [post|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-prefapi/] .
> I'm saying this to help PDFBox to make an informed decision concerning
> licences issues if there is any.
