My cms-images.jar is not an executable but a library which contains methods
- to extract metadata
- modify metadata
- extract thumbnails
- repair structures
- extract PDF pages
In other words, pdfinfo, pdffont and pdfseparate can be done in pure
Java. For this I ported over 80 % of poppler core code to Java. What is
missing are the pure image streams like DCT and JPEG2000, font handling
and some of the annotation stuff. And I ported only one output device,
PlateScannerOutputDev, which is an extension to PreScanOutputDev, so
that I can also extract informations about used plate names and
colorants and if overprint is used, which is rarely used but very
important in prepress area.
Here an example of the output of a small dump tool written using this
library:

done!
The name of the properties are XMP compliant, and the library also
contains the XMP scheme which is parsable by the included XMPReader and
writable by the XMPWriter, even if the scheme itself isn't used, the
implementation was done with JAXB.
The cms-images.jar does not only support PDF (this was my last but not
least supported format) but also JPG, TIFF and PNG in the moment. But
because it is completely undocumented at the moment, I don't want to
publish it as yet, but I plan to do it sometime this year. If anyone
here about anybody who is interested in it in the meantime: he can
contact me and I'll provide him the source code or anything else he need.
Cheers,
Thomas
