I created the issue 1210 for that feature.

Three things:
1) Great Idea!
2) 'Probably should be proposed through a Jira 'new feature' issue.
You can attach the files to the issue.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX
3) I would recommend it be proposed and implemented as a subclass of
PDFTextStripper (i.e., something like "ObservablePDFTextStripper" instead of
wired into that class directly. Almost all of PDFTextStripper can be
overridden in a subclass so you should be able to fully instrument this in a
subclass. There is a tiny but real performance hit for broadcasting events
(even if you have no listeners) and it would be my preference that we do not
introduce that overhead into the main PDFTextStripper class. Our group
uses PDFTextStripper to process a large amount of documents so performance
is important to us.
Cheers,
Mel
