Axel Howind commented on PDFBOX-5769:
-------------------------------------
I have created a PR for this:
* I have moved the classes from
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.layout` to
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive` and changed the code to use these new
classes instead of the ones in both
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.layout` and
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form`.
* I have removed the now empty package
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.layout`.
* I have removed the duplicated classes from
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form`.
* I checked the differences between both versions of the classes. They had
diverged in two aspects:
* The PlainText constructor in `org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form`
checked if the supplied `textContent` was empty and if so just created an empty
paragraph whereas the class in
`org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.layout` would create a
paragraph containing a single space. Creating an empty paragraph for the
special case of en empty textContent looks reasonable to me, so I copied that
code over.
* The Paragraph classes have diverged in that the one in the forms package
used some more sophisticated code for splitting lines. That looked good for me,
so I copied that over too. In case the difference is important, please give
some feedback so that I can update the pacth accordingly. But it looked rather
like an improvement/bugfix was made to the code in the forms package and simply
not applied to the other copy.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Axel Howind
> Priority: Minor
>
> I just stumbled upon lots of duplicated code in those two packages that I
> think should be cleaned up. As that would mean users would have to change
> imports, that would be a change for a major version. I will prepare a PR for
> this to suggest some changes that you can review and comment.
