Replacement / Alternative to dhorions?

[gmseed]

I see others have posted that this project is now effectively dead and won't integrate with PdfBox v3.x.

Does anyone know of a replacement that is both maintained and can be used with PdfBox?

Thanks Graham

I am personally no longer able to spend the needed time on it. @gmseed would you like to take over the development?

@dhorions @gmseed I would like to help.

I was able to build this project with pdfbox 3.0.3. I hope you can publish one more build.

Here are the changes I made:
