PanQuanyi commented on PDFBOX-1425:
-----------------------------------
for example:
if i rewrite the method handleLineSeparation() of Class
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper:
protected PositionWrapper handleLineSeparation(PositionWrapper current,
PositionWrapper lastPosition, PositionWrapper lastLineStartPosition, float
maxHeightForLine) throws IOException{
......
}
I need to use the parameter passed by, such as (PositionWrapper current), but
the PositionWrapper's method getTextPosition() is protected, not visible in
other package;
such situation is in common when I try to rewrite several other method in class
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper.
> Make PositionWrapper.getTextPosition public

>
> Method PositionWrapper.getTextPosition() is currently protected. The problem
> is that this limits the ability to extend/customize pdfbox.
> For instance, suppose someone wants to override
> PDFTextStripper.isParagraphSeparation(PositionWrapper position,
> PositionWrapper lastPosition, PositionWrapper lastLineStartPosition, float
> maxHeightForLine):
> This is intended, since isParagraphSeparation is 'protected'. However, in the
> subclass (which will be in a different package), it is forbidden to call
> position.getTextPosition(), which severly limits what can be done.
> Could you please make PositionWrapper.getTextPosition() public?
