John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-3056:
-------------------------------------
Oh, and one tip: never use PDFont#getHeight(). Logical glyph height is always =
current font size. You can always calculate visual bounds of a glyph if you
want by converting it to a GeneralPath (see PageDrawer) but there's probably no
need, logical bounds are quick and will have a consistent baseline, which
should make extraction easier.

> I'd like to experiment with writing my own text extractor that works better
> for my use case than PDFTextStripper does. Hopefully I can port some of the
> improvements to PDFTextStripper if I get something working well. I'd really
> like PDFTextStreamEngine and its constructor to have increased visibility as
> I believe that it's pretty reasonable for people to be able write their own
> PDFTextStrippers without having to reimplement showGlyph.
