[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-1521) Text extraction: Introduce PDFTextstripper.handleLine exposing all text positions to a subclass when a line of text is written

znerol created PDFBOX-1521:
------------------------------

             Summary: Text extraction: Introduce PDFTextstripper.handleLine exposing all text positions to a subclass when a line of text is written
                 Key: PDFBOX-1521
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1521
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: znerol
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: pdfbox-handleLine.patch

In a subclass of PDFTextStripper I like to record the location and dimension of each extracted line of text. By simply extracting the call to writeLine from writePage into a protected method handleLine (in the spirit of handleLineSeparation) this information gets exposed to subclasses.
