Great work, the ruler mode is really impressive and very handy to
finish up layout!

Since I prefer emacs for editing, I tested it using jedit's built-in
pdf-viewer in ruler mode to calculate the extra-offsets and insert
that manually into the emacs buffer. It works very well. I wonder how
difficult it would be to implement that functionality more directly
(meaning to attach some pdf-viewer with that functionality or to
communicate directly to jedit's pdf-renderer from emacs).

What is actually rendering the pdf? Is it some java plugin or does it
use external programs for that?
