Harry Lee commented on PDFBOX-734:
----------------------------------

Hi, Johannes. Thanks for your comments. I am OK with the change from public to 
protected for PDOutlineNode's getParent(). But, PDOutlineNode is not a abstract 
class. I may have a mixed tree structure of objects of both PDOutlineNode and 
PDOutlineItem. How do I access the parent node of a PDOutlineNode object in my 
data structure?
