Hi PDFBox team,
Thanks for the great framework. I'm looking for the ability to have the
coordinates information (x, y, width, height) for each line in a given
page. In this example
<https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/util/DrawPrintTextLocations.java?view=markup&sortby=date>,
the output is a rectangle that wrapped each word. See the snapshot below:
[image: 03054985.2018.1409975-marked-1.png]
>From the *org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper#writeLine*, we see the
method is not allowed for overriding, the method is *private* as long as
*org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper.WordWithTextPositions*.
> /**
> * Write a list of string containing a whole line of a document.
> *
> * @param line a list with the words of the given line
> * @throws IOException if something went wrong
> */
> private void writeLine(List<WordWithTextPositions> line)
> throws IOException
> {
> int numberOfStrings = line.size();
> for (int i = 0; i < numberOfStrings; i++)
> {
> WordWithTextPositions word = line.get(i);
> writeString(word.getText(), word.getTextPositions());
> if (i < numberOfStrings - 1)
> {
> writeWordSeparator();
> }
> }
> }

Can you please point me how I can obtain the line coordinates for a given
page?
Thanks a million,
