---------------------------
Summary: Make PDFTextStreamEngine class public
Key: PDFBOX-3178
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3178
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Leo
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 2.0.0
In 1.8 branch text extraction was performed by monolithic PDFTextStripper
class. In 2.0 it was refactored in PDFTextStreamEngine and new PDFTextStripper
classes which extends the former. The new PDFTextStripper contains a lot of new
functionality that is not always needed by the clients extending it (page and
bookmark position state bookkeeping, writer procedures). To avoid the burden of
maintaining unneeded functionality of this class by the clients and also to
save the run time there's a sense for them to extend PDFTextStreamEngine
directly. Currently, PDFTextStreamEngine class is not declared public. This
makes it package-private and does not let the clients from other packages to
extend it.
Suggestion: declare PDFTextStreamEngine class and it's constructor as public.
