PDFBox should come with a utility to convert a pdf to a
linearized pdf document.

I wish to voice my support for this feature request. It would be very useful to us too. Thanks for the great work!

I am involved in a free project where we are digitizing a very
large number of books and turning them into PDF using open
source software to serve on the Net. I thought I'd post a
comment to say that linearization would be a really attractive
feature for us in PDFBox if implemented.

Some example pdfs (linearized and not):
The linearized version is created by an evaluation
version of
PdfLib. Don't worry about the blank page.
The pdf is also beeing validated by our in-house pdf
expert. I've
tryed it today.
Sadly, it is urgent for us to deliver a correct version
of the pdf
to our customer, I think we will buy a version of
PdfLib (we control
it via a JNI Bridge)..
Anyhow, if you find a way of implementing the
linearization in
PDFBox, I will be happy to throw away PdfLib.
I think a constructor like
org.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument(COSDocument
doc, boolean linearize) would be nice, and sorry I
don't have time to
help you in enhancing PdfBox now. (Maybe I'll write some
examples of basic
usage pattern of your library)
See the following for examples.
