Jonathan created PDFBOX-4538:
--------------------------------
Summary: Expose more internal API as protected and public
Key: PDFBOX-4538
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4538
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Parsing, Rendering, Writing
Affects Versions: 2.0.14
Reporter: Jonathan
Fix For: 2.0.16
During the last couple of weeks, I worked intensely on PDFBox-based, heavy PDF
processing.
In the course of this work, we often needed to customize some behaviour of the
library, but we haven't been able to do this as an extension by subclassing.
Instead, we needed to fork the entire project, with the majority of changes
being the use of less restrictive access modifiers.
As a company we would like to reduce the scope of our own modifications, so
it'd be great if you could adopt a somewhat less restrictive policy on exposing
API area. I could compile a list of the symbols we needed, but perhaps it would
make sense to undergo a more general review about what internals could be
opened as public API.
We also implemented some other fixes, I will open separate issues to address
them.
