[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-612) Specify PDFBox options via ParseContext

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-612?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13096266#comment-13096266 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-612:
------------------------------------

+1 looks good to me.

A possible design improvement could be to make PDFParseOptions an interface like the following:

{code}
public interface PDFParseOptions {
    void apply(PDFTextStripper stripper);
}
{code}

The proposed bean class would implement that interface like this:

{code}
    public void apply(PDFTextStripper stripper) {
        stripper.setForceParsing(getForceParsing());
        stripper.setSortByPosition(getSortByPosition());
    }
{code}

This would make it easy for client applications to apply also other PDF parsing settings not currently known by Tika.

> See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-611. The options used by PDFBox are currently hardwritten in the PDFParser code, we will allow them to be specified via the ParseContext objects
