Thank you, that is what I am doing, I didn't know if there was some other PDF 
Reader class that I should be calling instead.

much more work.

We have a need to read a PDF and create a Post Script file from it.  This is 
working pretty good but I have a question.

I am currently extending PDFStreamEngine for image information, extending 
PDFGraphicsStreamEngine for information on lines, and extending PDFTextStripper 
for information on text.  Is this the recommended approach for pulling out 
information on images, lines and text?


Yes... in theory, it should be possible to "join" it all together, but 
this be much more work.
