>
> As part of some ground-testing work I've been doing for pdf embedding
> enhancements in Apache FOP, I've modified PDFBox's Overlay.java to support
> translation, rotation and scaling of the PDF being overlaid.
> This may be a useful feature for PDFBox, so I thought I'd send it in.
> Right now it uses the target PDF document's co-ordinate units for
> translations, so it's hard for users to know what translation to specify
> without trial and error. I'm not sure what the best way to remedy this is to
> make for a better user interface, but I suspect that adding the ability to
> set an origin (TL, BL, TR, BR, or center) that'd help. That way it's easier
> for them to say "position the overlay on the top left" for example. The
> actual translation amount could be given as a percentage of the target
> document size in that axis, maybe, or accept different unit suffixes like "%"
> or "cm". I'm not sure what the best approach is, and I won't need to explore
> it for my current project, but it should be easy enough to add.
