Hey guys, I've been looking around online and doing a lot of experimentation around running PDFBox on a Google App Engine instance, to:
a) Parse some PDFs and get text location information b) Generate images from the PDF I have this working locally, but on the instance, I've been running into a long series of problems. I've overcome the issues with all the parts of PDFBox that try to write temporary files by replacing those with a RandomAccessBuffer, but now GAE is complaining that it can't load non-whitelisted classes like java.awt.Color (!!) I've seen some conflicting reports online about whether it's possible to get this to work, so I thought I'd ask here before I begin investigating what it would entail to rip out all of java.awt from PDFBox: has anyone had any success running this on GAE before? If so, do you have any code or guidance to share? Thanks :) -Adrian
