Class PDFParser

All Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable, Watchable

public class PDFParser extends BaseWatchable
PDFParser is the class that parses a PDF content stream and produces PDFCmds for a PDFPage. You should never ever see it run: it gets created by a PDFPage only if needed, and may even run in its own thread.
