Summary: Page tree handling needs rewriting
Key: PDFBOX-2423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2423
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 1.8.7, 2.0.0
Reporter: John Hewson
The way in which PDFBox handles the Page tree needs to be rewritten, preferably
from scratch. Currently the document catalog returns the raw objects from the
page tree, wrapped in either a PDPage or PDPageNode.
We need to abstract over the page tree and get rid of PDPageNode, we should
provide methods which can add/remove PDPage objects *only*. The existing
low-level access to the page tree is not needed at the PD-level.
Inheritance of page properties such as crop box, resources, and rotation should
be reimplemented to use whatever new page tree abstraction we invent. We can
finally remove the old broken methods which didn't look up the inheritance tree
when retrieving these values.
