Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-3055:
--------------------------------------------
I agree with [~tilman]. ExtractText is nothing more than a parameter parser
calling PDFTextStripper. Your code doesn't extend ExractText but omits most of
the implemented functionality. Saying that, IMHO it would make more sense to
simply write your own little command line tool.

> Affects Versions: 1.8.10
> Environment: (any)
> Reporter: Michael Goddard
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 10m

> I was just hoping to do a simple extension, using this class but, due to the
> private constructor, can't:
> {code}
> import org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText;
> public class MultiPDFtoText
> {
> public static void main (String[] args)
> {
> for (String pdf : args)
> {
> String txt = pdf.replaceFirst("\\.pdf$", ".txt");
> System.out.println("PDF: " + pdf + ", TXT: " + txt);
> ExtractText extractor = new ExtractText();
> extractor.startExtraction(new String[] { pdf, txt });
> }
> }
> }
> {code}
