---------------------------------------
Summary: PDFTextStripper should handle colors
Key: PDFBOX-2246
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2246
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.8.6, 1.8.7, 2.0.0
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
Priority: Minor
A recent thread in the dev mailing lst (with Aaron H.) dealt with the inability
to extract color with PDFTextStripper. The solution was to create a
PDFTextStripper with these entries to the properties file
{code}
CS=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingColorSpace
cs=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingColorSpace
rg=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingRGBColor
G=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingGrayColor
g=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingGrayColor
K=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingCMYKColor
k=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingCMYKColor
RG=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingRGBColor
rg=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingRGBColor
SC=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingColor
sc=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingColor
SCN=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingColor
scn=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingColor
{code}
I therefore propose (and I'd like to get at least one "+1" before starting
because I've never worked on that segment before):
- replacing the empty entries in the PDFTextStripper property file with the
ones above
- improve the printtextlocations example
The problem has come up before: PDFBOX-1736,
http://stackoverflow.com/q/10844271/535646 ,
http://stackoverflow.com/a/9157714/535646 and the solutions presented are
rather cumbersome (using a PageDrawer object).
