> As of now Apache PDFBox is a low level API project. PDF Box is so mature that
> it should have, and must have, higher levels of methods and functions that
> helps the users to create PDFs. Looking around the internet one can find that
> when people ask for help about PDF Box then it is always the same things,
> e.g. "How can I create pages dynamically?", "How do I calculate the height
> and width of a page", "Why does lines not split on end of line?", "All of my
> texts overwrites themselfs and the pages becomes one page - why?". Having an
> API where I have to draw like a child of what I want is something we saw in
> the 'old days', maybe throughout the years 2000 to 2010.
> Look at this repository as a good example:
> https://github.com/ralfstuckert/pdfbox-layout .
> This man has done what you should / could have done a long time ago. Give him
> some money and implement (/improve) his code into PDF Box. Surely it can be
> done. He does not update the repository that often, so grabbing it and / or
> doing something similar would be great. It have to become more easy to work
> with PDF BOXs PDFs. I can imagine that companies around the world would flock
> to PDF Box if it was more userfriendly.
> I hope that you can start with this as soon as possible, please.
