Daniel Wilson created PDFBOX-2691:
-------------------------------------
Summary: PageDrawer should not be *final*
Key: PDFBOX-2691
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2691
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Rendering
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Daniel Wilson
A change from PDFBox 1.8.8 and earlier makes PageDrawer a final class --
prohibiting classes from inheriting it.
This will prevent me from upgrading to version 2.0.0 because I use PDFBox to
render PDF's in .Net. That requires that a few methods be overridden to use
.Net drawing objects and libraries rather than Java objects and libraries. In
order to override those methods, I define a class thus:
{code}
namespace PDFBox_Net
{
public class PageDrawer_Net : org.apache.pdfbox.pdfviewer.PageDrawer
{
/* all kinds of cool C# code
...
*/
}
}
{code}
If PDFBox 2.0 PageDrawer remains final, I will need to choose between staying
on the 1.8.x branch and forking the code.
