Manfred Pock commented on PDFBOX-2692: -------------------------------------- I am not just yet comfortable with that. It would be nicer that we can say which annotations (and if possible other parts of the pdf) should be ignored for rendering, and which one not. Just our annotations should not be rendered in our view. In an external viewer all should be visible. > Possibility to use our own and/or overwrite PageDrawer class > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-2692 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2692 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Rendering > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Environment: JDK 1.8, Windows 7, PDF-Box - current trunk > Reporter: Manfred Pock > Labels: features > Attachments: pdfexample.jpg > > > We use PDFBox to render PDF's. Additionally, we have the posibility to add > different kinds of annotation (stamp, marks, free text, notes..) like in a > wysiwyg-editor. To do this, it is necessary that we paint these annotations > on our own. > Another reason is not to paint all parts: for example we have a pdf with an > embedded picture. Behind the picture we have the OCR-text to this picture. > This text is only needed for searching und should not be painted. > Thus it would be useful to use our own derived PageDrawer. As I see there are > some things to change. > a.) remove the final from PagerDrawer-class. > b.) make some global-variables (graphics, xform, pageSize...) protected, > c.) also some methods like setRenderingHints should be protected > d.) maybe the possibility to say to the PDFRender which PageDrawer should be > used. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
