Abstract / Excerpt:

The increasing use of Portable Document Format files has highlighted the need for better PDF document writers. There are many available PDF document writers nowadays. However, writers that have good functionalities are often proprietary. This study concentrates on enhancing an existing open-source PDF document writer by using the most desired features of other writers. Furthermore, this study includes a survey on the users of the features that they want to be included in the enhanced writer. The possible ways of implementing the major enhancements were also studied. One way is by using PDFMark operators. Another is by making use of third-party components such as PDF libraries. The group used PDFBox, which is an open-source Java PDF library, for the creation of bookmarks. The same library was used for the extraction or deletion of PDF pages from an existing PDF file.
