> 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
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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).
