Hi Jeremy, one of the ideas of PDFBox 2.0 will be to refactor in order to remove dependencies such as awt for text extraction and modularize PDFBox so one could use only the modules needed and keep the memory and dependencies to a minimum. It would be good - based on your experience - to share what might be necessary to support a port to Android. Ideally there shouldn't be much work to be done to support text extraction on Android after we have reached the goals for PDFBox 2.0.
Please keep in mind that - although some of the work has been started - there isn't a defined set for PDFBox yet but ideas. http://pdfbox.apache.org/ideas.html BR Maruan Sahyoun Am 06.07.2013 um 06:42 schrieb Jeremy Villalobos <jeremyvillalo...@gmail.com>: > I've done a few (1.6, 1.7) ports of pdfbox to Android just for text > extraction.
