Report from the Apache PDFBox committee [Andreas Lehmkühler]
## Description:
The Apache PDFBox library is an open source Java tool for working with
PDF documents.
## Issues:
- there are no issues requiring board attention at this time"
## Activity:
- we are planning to release the third and hopefully last RC of PDFBox very soon
- as there are a lot of fixes for the 1.8 branch we are going to release a
bugfix version of the 1.8 branch as well
- joining forces with Tim Allison from Apache TIKA to run some bulk tests
(analyzing ~100k of pdfs using different of versions of PDFBox) is a huge help
in many ways
- compare 2.0.0 with 1.8.x (benchmarks as well as comparing results)
- determine regressions
- observ memory footprint/performance
- find pdfs using rare features/combination of features which are
unsupported by PDFBox
## Health report:
- there is a steady stream of contributions, bug reports and questions on the
mailing lists
- the core team consists of 4 - 5 active developers
- after releasing two RCs of the next major version more people show their
interest in PDFBox (see the increased number of subscribers to users@)
