The solution will probably be to extend PageDrawer, and/or to extend the
line related operators, e.g. LineTo, MoveTo, CurveTo, and many more.
You'll have to look at the source code. To see whats really going on, do
a trace of PDFStreamEngine.

Hey there,
my problem is as follows:
i have a document with a table on it. For determining where the table
starts, the table endes and where the table header is, i would like to
find the border of the table and the inner row-lines.
My idea was to find all drawn lines on a pdf document and all borders
and get the start and endposition of this lines (I'm sorry, im not
very into the pdf specification)
is this possible with pdfbox and if yes, how? i thought about
iterating about the tokens, but - as i said - im not very into the
spec of pdf and so i didn't really know what to look for.
i found a function in PDPageContentStream.drawLine() but i dind't get
informations in it how to may READ/get lines.
thanks in advance
