Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4212:
----------------------------------------
I'm glad that there were no changes necessary.
The reason for copying it is that I didn't want to change the current
implementation for AcroForms while reworking the formatter. I'm currently
experimenting with various API changes - especially using
{{AttributedCharacterIterator}} which would be beneficial if we start using
Rich Text and utilize some of the java.text classes. What I don't like about is
that there strong type system for that.
