Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-3924.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Duplicate

Closing as duplicate of PDFBOX-3550. I've added you as a watcher there, but 
don't expect anything to happen soon. PDFBox is an unpaid volunteer project, we 
all have day jobs. None of us (AFAIK) has any knowledge of any language that 
uses complex scripts so it would be difficult to do it alone. According to 
google trends, India has a lot of users of PDFBox. India has over a million of 
software developers. So we'll have to wait for the day when some people will 
step in. Until then, try commercial solutions, e.g. itext.
