John Hewson updated PDFBOX-2246:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
> PDFTextStripper should handle colors
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2246
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2246
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.8.6, 1.8.7, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> A recent thread in the dev mailing lst (with Aaron H.) dealt with the
> inability to extract color with PDFTextStripper. The solution was to create a
> PDFTextStripper with these entries to the properties file
> {code}
> CS=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingColorSpace
> cs=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingColorSpace
> rg=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingRGBColor
> G=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingGrayColor
> g=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingGrayColor
> K=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingCMYKColor
> k=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingCMYKColor
> RG=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingRGBColor
> rg=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingRGBColor
> SC=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingColor
> sc=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingColor
> SCN=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetStrokingColor
> scn=org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.SetNonStrokingColor
> {code}
> I therefore propose (and I'd like to get at least one "+1" before starting
> because I've never worked on that segment before):
> - replacing the empty entries in the PDFTextStripper property file with the
> ones above
> - improve the printtextlocations example
> The problem has come up before: PDFBOX-1736,
> http://stackoverflow.com/q/10844271/535646 ,
> http://stackoverflow.com/a/9157714/535646 and the solutions presented are
> rather cumbersome (using a PageDrawer object).
