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/

This is the coolest one though, purely because of what its used for: openSHA, a java-basedplatform for conducting Seismic Hazard Analysis.  Earthquakes!  http://www.opensha.org

Feel free to add any that you’ve found!
