Currenty I'm lacking a little bit of time (getting married in a month :),
but I wanted to try the following:
- get text extraction from PDFs to work (there are 3 libraries available
which can do that: jpedal, pdfbox, multivalent)
- convert the DCL files which are required for PBBookMaker to java
- integrate PBBookMaker into PDFConv
Another possibility would be to migrate DCL to Win32 (because I devlop
there), and use JNI to call the DCL functions from Java (this would
eliminate the second step from above).
But as I said - not enough time at the moment :(
