Sadly, it is not. On-and-off, I spent two weeks with pdfbox, reading what documentation exists on the website, skimming through source files and try-miss-repeat programming using pdfbox. I am willing to write tutorials/documentation on what little I learned along the way, but don't know how the library really works in the background or why the things I wrote really work. The documentation on the website (which I did read, thoroughly) is inadequate and very much incomplete. I realize that you do not have time for to write answers to all beginners' questions. I also realize that you are trying to be helpful. Thank you for that. Still, I am not any closer to determining line positions. BR, Ilija.
