PDF
Big Faceless Organization (BFO), provider of high quality Java software components, have enhanced the PDF library by introducing consolidated logging. Version 2.11.6 of the Big Faceless PDF Library also includes a thread clean up.
Previously log messages were written to System.err. If problems were encountered PDFs could throw a large number of messages, and although these could always be turned off, there was no way to manage the logging in more detail.
Now Log4J or java.util.logging will be used depending on which is configured, making the process of managing the logging much easier in the event of a problem. For detailed information on integrating logging visit http://bit.ly/
Anyone using the PDF Viewer will also find this upgrade more reliable due to a thread cleanup. An audit of the PDF Library code dug up several potential synchronization issues, so customers reading a single PDF in multiple threads should find this upgrade is more stable.
