Hi,
Thanks mehdi. I have two ideas for a GSoC task, but need all of your help to select suitable one. - One project is HTML to PDF and vise versa converter. This feature can be found in JIRA also (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-9) - Other one is enhancing features of PDF reader and zooming features, page display features, bookmark navigator, page thumbnail viewer can be very much useful. Since I have previous experience in awt, swing and java2d, it will be easy for me. There might be several other tasks which are important than this. So all of you are welcome, to reply with good ideas.
