Hi All,
I’d like to bring PDFBOX-2592 to the attention of the dev mailing list.
A number of users on the mailing list have asked about how to import pages from
other PDFs as forms, our current solution is LayerUtility, which is depends on
PDFCloneUtility.
However, the design of the COS API allows for sharing of COS objects between
documents (in the same thread). So there’s no need for all the copying and
cloning. With only a few minor changes we could get this working robustly. It
might also help simplify splitting and merging.
I like this idea a lot and it’s pretty simple - any thoughts?
We should wait until the COSStream is refactored (split compressed and
umcompressed stream, optimize the data handling memory vs. file) and see if your
idea will still work.
