Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-2337:
----------------------------------------
Do we really need a ICLA / CCLA in this case? As per [~lehmi]’s comment on the
users mailing list that might not be necessary.
Could we come up with a licensing header for such cases as others might be
interested in writing up samples or help enhancing the documentation. I would
like to see us making this process as simple as possible.
I’d also vote for taking this sample as is and include that in 1.8.x if that
doesn’t hold the release process for long and fix it for 2.0 after that. Could
be done by Joël or us.
WDYT?

> Components: Utilities
> Reporter: Joël Kuiper
>
> An often heard request is to be able to highlight a certain text within a PDF
> programmatically, similar to the highlight functionality in Acrobat or
> Preview.app.
> The actual implementation of this functionality is trickier than it appears,
> since it requires the calculation of bouding boxes from TextPositions.
> A example class may help people with implementing this (common)
> functionality.
