The entire conversion engine, PDF to all formats, will be available as an API. It is written in Java, which is compiled to native code for various platforms using GCJ (incidentally, we have an article on our labs site about building an OS X cross compiler for GCJ). For the initial release, the library will be available as a Java class (linked via JNI) and a COM component for Windows. That said, our main focus is on creating simple to use end user applications. Its nice to have different tools available, especially open source ones. Have you thought of creating simple installer packages for your python prs500-gui app? It was a pretty high bar to get all of the needed dependencies installed (at least on OS X), too much for the average user. With all of the features it offers, I know it would be a welcomed contribution.
