Hi Andreas, Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I am an ASF committer... Just not to PDFBox.. . I do have domain expertise being a full-time FOP developer and having dealt with PDFs and fonts quite a bit. Should I pop an email to dev-community to see if it's ok? It seems like such a waste to have an interested applicant but no mentor...
