Dustin Spicuzza commented on PDFBOX-1521:
-----------------------------------------
This is also a feature that I would like as well.
The patch is incomplete in version 1.8.1, as it did not replace the second
invocation of writeLine() with a call to handleLine()
> Text extraction: Introduce PDFTextstripper.handleLine exposing all text
> positions to a subclass when a line of text is written
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-1521
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1521
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: znerol
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: pdfbox-handleLine.patch
>
>
> In a subclass of PDFTextStripper I like to record the location and dimension
> of each extracted line of text. By simply extracting the call to writeLine
> from writePage into a protected method handleLine (in the spirit of
> handleLineSeparation) this information gets exposed to subclasses.
