| <title>Donations</title> |
| <p>PDFBox is free software, if have found it useful or has saved you money over a commercial alternative then consider making a donation to the project. |
| Donations help keep the project active and support development of new features.<br /><br /> |
| |
| There are many ways that you can donate to the PDFBox project, below are some suggested ways: |
| </p> |
| <table> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Donation</th> |
| <th>Description</th> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><a href="http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/developer/detail.html">ASN Membership</a></td> |
| <td>The Adobe Solutions Network allows for insider information to Adobe products, which can |
| help implement new features in PDFBox. This will also allow PDFBox be listed as a partner |
| on Adobe's site which will increase the user community of PDFBox. |
| Please contact <a href="mailto:ben@benlitchfield.com">Ben</a> to make arrangements.<br/><br/> |
| <strong>Note:</strong>The premium membership includes Acrobat 7.0 Professional, which is the next item on the list! |
| |
| </td> |

| <tr> |
| <td>Adobe® Acrobat 7.0 Professional</td> |
| <td>In order for PDFBox to produce correct results it is sometimes necessary to create a PDF using an Adobe tool |
| and then compare the results with what PDFBox produced. The 7.0 product suite contains lots of useful features |
| that would be nice to be able to verify against PDFBox. Amazon currently lists this as $409, but may be cheaper else where. |
| Please contact <a href="mailto:ben@benlitchfield.com">Ben</a> to make arrangements.(Legal donations only please)<br/><br/> |
| <strong>Note:</strong>Many open issues are related to AcroForms, this donation will make it easier to implement a robust solution! |
