[science-iwg] PDFBox Extensions

[Philip Wenig <philip.wenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I've written some extensions for Apache PDFBox to let one create PDFs 
more easily, see attached PDF. The repo is located here:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/chemclipse/org.eclipse.chemclipse.chemclipsecore.git

Code and tests "branch develop" are located here:

org.eclipse.chemclipse.pdfbox.extensions
org.eclipse.chemclipse.pdfbox.extensions.fragment.test

Elements (text, image, line, tables, ...) can be positioned e.g. based 
on a "mm" scale and a page center top left instead of bottom left:

PageUtil pageUtil = new PageUtil(document, new 
PageSettings(PDRectangle.A4, PageBase.TOP_LEFT, Unit.MM, false));
pageUtil.printImage(new ImageElement(10, 
10).setImage(JPEGFactory.createFromStream(document, 
PageUtil_1_ITest.class.getResourceAsStream("logo.jpg"))).setWidth(63.5f).setHeight(8.05f));
pageUtil.printText(new TextElement(10, 20, 190).setText("Hello World"));
pageUtil.close();

Do we have an utils project in Eclipse where to move these "generic" 
extensions to, so that code can easily be re-used by other projects?

I not necessarily want to file a new project proposals only for the 
"Apache PDFBox" extensions.


Best,
Philip
