[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-3398) Text (XML) output of pdf structure

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3398?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15350234#comment-15350234 ]

There is no such information in the PDF document linked from the SO article.

As far as I could see the StructureTree is used to identify the different building blocks of the document and points to the corresponding marked content sequences in the page content stream. The only accessibility feature used is the specification of the language using the {{Lang}} attribute. There is no plain text definition or replacement text as far as I can tell which is why you couldn't find it e.g. no use of {{/Actual Text}} or such tags.

> It would be nice to have a text/xml representation output to pdf file of the entire document structure as can be browsed in the debugger window GUI. It would allow for easier searching and understanding of the structure. Not sure if it should be an option to PDFReader/PDFDebugger  or a separate class that might also be bundled into an app jar. I would even start working on it given the preferred base to start on
