Open source software that uses JPedal LGPL

It never ceases to amaze us what creative ways people find to use our library. Unfortunately a lot of these are commercial ones we are not allowed to share with you. So I thought I would have a look around and see if I could find some examples using the Open Source version. Here is a selection…

Pdf Scissors is a cool program for cropping Pdf files so you can read them more easily in Pdf readers like a Kindle. http://www.pdfscissors.com/

PdfJumbler is a simple tool for shuffling Pdf files around. You can rearrange, merge and delete pages. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfjumbler/

Pdf Annot is pretty nifty. You can use it to add audio and text annotations to Pdf files. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfannot/

DICOMUX was made by some students in german. Its used to read DICOM files (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine file, learn something new everyday!). http://dicomux.org/Home.html
