      Description

      The ICEpdf imaging pipeline is incredibly complex and depends a large number of libraries to get the job done. There are several bugs in the current approach that a rooted in closed sourced libraries. We also depend heavily on JAI for the loading of some images which is not only closed source but also basically abandoned by Oracle.

      The library https://github.com/haraldk/TwelveMonkeys is currently the most popular Java imaging library and is based on the pluggable ImageIO framework. However it currently depends on Java 7 so this will mean a major jdk update for ICEpdf as well.
