Customize Oxygen XML Editor plugin to Render PDF Images (Experimental Support)

Oxygen XML Editor plugin provides experimental support for PDF images using the Apache PDFBox library.

To enable the rendering of PDF images in Author mode, follow this procedure:

  1. Go to http://pdfbox.apache.org/downloads.html and download the pre-built PDFBox standalone binary JAR files pdfbox-1.8.9.jar, fontbox-1.8.9.jar, and jempbox-1.8.9.jar.
  2. Copy the downloaded JAR libraries to the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]\lib directory.
  3. Open OXYGEN_PLUGIN_DIR/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and add a reference to the JAR libraries in the Bundle-ClassPath entry.
  4. Restart Eclipse in clean mode (edit the shortcut you use to start Eclipse and add -clean as the first argument.)
