Hi,
for a current project I need to work on enhancing PDFBox for
# splitting files (e.g. remove no longer needed resources)
I had a quick look some time ago hoping that it would be easy to just remove
unneeded stuff but it isn't (maybe I didn't get it yet). In most cases resources
are deleted in combination with the page they belong to. The bigger issue is
annotations referring to pages. Those pages including there resources aren't
removed when the pages are removed because of the reference in the annotation
directory.
# merging files (e.g. avoid duplicating resources)
That just makes sense if the pdfs to be merged uses similar resources.
# page handling (adding/removing individual pages with resource handling)
This should be a side produkt of #1 and #2
# enhancements to forms handling (pre fill XFA forms - partially done,
enhancing AP generation)
This seems to be an important feature not only for you. So it would be nice if
someone could improve that.
Is someone else working on something similar?
My recent todo list is already quite long and maybe #1 and #2 or on it, but I'm
afraid on a lower position. But I'm happy to help if someone wants to implement
some of those features.
