Daniel Wilson commented on PDFBOX-2692: --------------------------------------- As I am getting into the work of using PDFBox 2.0 without inheriting / subclassing, I encounter the other reason I had subclassed it 10 years ago. My application has the option of changing the colors on the individual components. Here's the image in the original colors. Here it is with section 2 blue. Here it is with section 2 green. Subclassing PageDrawer, I could override getStrokingColor and getNonStrokingColor to work with a list of colors the application provides. I will get as far as I can without forking the code. But I don't see a way around this one. > 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
