Hi all,
I am interested in using the PDFBox library on an embedded system and therefore did some simple performance tests. Compared to the other library I looked at (iText), PDFBox performed considerably slower in some use cases. Since I would rather go with PDFBox instead of iText I had a look with a profiler to see if I could do something about it. I pin-pointed some of the pain areas and came up with a few patches to address some of them. I would like to clean up my patches and merge them back upstream, if the PDFBox team is interested. So my question is: Would you be interested in those patches and if yes, how should I proceed from here. On the PDFBox website, I can't find any procedure on how to propose patches. Should I post them here on the mailing list for discussion? I think opening JIRA issues for each patch would not be the right solution, as these patches are not bugfixes but only small changes/refactorings in the code which have no impact on the functionality itself. Regards, Michael
