Latex parsing
For testing purposes it would be very useful to compare PDF documents with their latex source files. This would enable testing of the application against hundreds of PDFs easily. PDFs with source can be obtained for example at arxiv.org
To this end, compare available libraries for doing this
can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/snuggletex (download) and http://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/snuggletex/ (info)
+ java
+ BSD license
+ much better documentation
+ gives much better impression, good test coverage etc
- not tried yet
can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/texconverter
+ java
