Handling issues related to upgrade to PDFBox 2.0

[leeper]

The tabula-java library is moving to PDFBox 2.0, which will have consequences not only for the tabula API but also for some of the utility functions that tabulizer implements by calling PDFBox classes directly. This is flagged as an issue at tabulizerjars and will likely have numerous consequences for tabulizer. Any help identifying and correcting this issues will be appreciated.

tabulizerjars has been updated (on a branch) to 1.0.0

Thank you for a great package! I did some work on migration to PDFBox 2.0. The changes are here. I have some trouble with setting resolution in make_thumbnail.R through renderImageWithDPI, but otherwise everything seems to work.

Hey that's great! Is that using the latest tabulizerjars?

[tpaskhalis]

Yes, it's based on tabula 1.0.1 from the branch of tabulizerjars.

I did further work on the migration and feature development. The problem with resolution in thumbnails has been fixed. Added some new functionality, such as extracting text by area and separated out coordinates conversion: pdfbox2.0. My next goal is implementing stream option from #65

I think #83 resolves this. So, maybe we could close it and then open separate issues for individual problems if they emerge.

Great. I'm happy to have you close this then.

[tpaskhalis]

Ok, great! I'm closing it.
