-----------------------------------------
Summary: Consider BaseParser.seqSource a protected member
Key: PDFBOX-5270
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5270
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 2.0.24
Reporter: Alistair Oldfield
Please consider making
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.BaseParser.seqSource a protected member.
i.e.
{code:java}
protected final SequentialSource seqSource;
{code}
this will allow extending the PDFStreamParser class to make use of the
seqSource.
In my particular case (only to show one of many possible use-cases), I do not
want to skip comments in the PDF stream:
{code:java}
%comment in stream which may be useful to read{code}
One cannot usefully override
{code:java}
protected void skipSpaces() throws IOException
{code}
without access to this member.
As the skipSpaces is already protected, it implies that one may find it useful
to override it anyway (probably other reasons too, but is not really meaningful
without access to seqSource).
