public PrintTextLocations() throws IOException 
{
        super.setSortByPosition( true );
}

Default constructor.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error loading text stripper properties.

{
        if( args.length != 1 )
        {
            usage();

                    {
                        System.err.println( "Error: Document is encrypted with a password." );
                        System.exit( 1 );
                    }
                }
                PrintTextLocations printer = new PrintTextLocations();
                List allPages = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
                for( int i=0; i< allPages.size(); i++ )
                {
                    PDPage page = (PDPage)allPages.get( i );
                    System.out.println( "Processing page: " + i );
                    PDStream contents = page.getContents();
                    if( contents != null )
                    {
                        printer.processStream( page, page.findResources(), page.getContents().getStream() );
                    }
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                if( document != null )
                {
                    document.close();
                }
            }
        }
}

This will print the documents data.

A method provided as an event interface to allow a subclass to perform some specific functionality when text needs to be processed.
