What about 'PDFLens' --> implies the viewer and any introspection capabilities.
Doesn't sell editing capabilities, but I don't think that should be a big deal. Just tossing it into the ring ... :-) Mel Dr. Mel Martinez m.marti...@ll.mit.edu -----Original Message----- From: a...@swmc.com [mailto:a...@swmc.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 12:11 PM To: dev@pdfbox.apache.org Cc: dev@pdfbox.apache.org Subject: Re: [idea] PdfReader In Google Summer of Code 2010 PDFDbg is good if the target audience is developers & researchers. If it's to be a general replacement for Adobe Acrobat Standard, then I don't think that name really makes sense. We could always just choose an animal, that seems to be a popular theme (Pidgin, Firefox, FoxIt, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, etc.). Plus then we'd already have an idea of what the logo should look like. Having said that, it seems most of the cool names I came up with along these lines were already taken. --Adam From: Dexter Mishra <dexter.mis...@gmail.com> To: dev@pdfbox.apache.org Date: 02/24/2010 07:55 Subject: Re: [idea] PdfReader In Google Summer of Code 2010 Well we can use PDFDbg as it will have some features to manipulate PDFs, see the structure and may be enhance to find some bugs in PDF docs also.
