Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3737:
-----------------------------------------
That's a design decision. PDPage has the page related methods, i.e. reading and
writing the page structures. Other jobs that access these structures, e.g.
rendering and text extraction are in separate classes. PDFTextStripper has more
options than just start and end page.
Btw you don't have to extend PDFTextStripper. This is only if you do low level
activities like getting the individual positions of glyphs. For simple text
extraction you just create a PDFTextStripper object.
> Add a method to process page directly

> If you want to process a page, you need extend *PDFTextStripper*, and invoke
> *setStartPage*, *setEndPage* and *processPage*. Therefore, why not add a
> method to process a page directly.
