  	    <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>
  	        <tr>
  	            <td>Adobe&reg; 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!
