John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2692: ------------------------------------- PDFBox is a Java project so if you're using a .net port generated using an automated tool then you'll need to find one that provides a Graphics2D implementation. Otherwise you'll need to make some patches to the port code, which is common practice. One idea would be to write your own minimal Graphics2D implementation which provides only the methods used by PageDrawer, but just wraps System.Drawing methods. Ultimately we don't support .net, although we're always happy to offer advice. > Possibility to use our own and/or overwrite PageDrawer class > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-2692 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2692 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Rendering > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Environment: JDK 1.8, Windows 7, PDF-Box - current trunk > Reporter: Manfred Pock > Labels: features > Attachments: pdfexample.jpg > > > We use PDFBox to render PDF's. Additionally, we have the posibility to add > different kinds of annotation (stamp, marks, free text, notes..) like in a > wysiwyg-editor. To do this, it is necessary that we paint these annotations > on our own. > Another reason is not to paint all parts: for example we have a pdf with an > embedded picture. Behind the picture we have the OCR-text to this picture. > This text is only needed for searching und should not be painted. > Thus it would be useful to use our own derived PageDrawer. As I see there are > some things to change. > a.) remove the final from PagerDrawer-class. > b.) make some global-variables (graphics, xform, pageSize...) protected, > c.) also some methods like setRenderingHints should be protected > d.) maybe the possibility to say to the PDFRender which PageDrawer should be > used. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
