Hi,

It looks like we are pretty close to a resolution on the CMap issue
[1], and Andreas has written a patch to address the ICC profile issue
[2].

This leaves us with only the troublesome test files [3]. It seems
clear that we can't redistribute the test files in an Apache release,
so the most straightforward solution is to simply drop the tests so
that we can move forward with the 0.8.0-incubating release.

To keep the tests we could repackage the test suite as an independent
component and release it under the PDFBox SourceForge project with
proper disclaimers about the copyright status of the included files.
Then in our developer documentation at Apache we could have a pointer
to that test suite and instructions on how to integrate it with a
normal PDFBox checkout.
