Hello, Thank you, but we only found ways to globally configure logging for the entire Java environment. To elaborate on the context: Our use case is that our customers use our library in their Java environment to create PDFs and optionally merge them with existing PDFs. The latter is being migrated to use PDFBox. Logging in our library is handled by a separate Java logger instance for each conversion. Multiple conversions can be executed at the same time, in different threads. Our goal is to forward the log output of each PDFBox operation to the logger of the conversion that invoked it. However, as we are shipping a library, to be used in an arbitrary Java environment, we cannot do any configuration that affects the entire environment, e.g. all Commons Logging loggers or all loggers used by PDFBox no matter if executed by our library or another one.
Thanks in advance.
