Created attachment 30663 [details] Patch, initial draft Follow on work to Darren Robert's patch of XSSFTextBox: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55292 This patch integrates those updates into XSSFExcelExtractor and XSSFEventBasedExcelExtractor. I'm posting the patch for review. Two items that I'm not sure about: 1) I'm not actually streaming the textbox extraction in XSSFReader. I followed the model of headers and footers and used the regular XSSF-bean-based objects. 2) I had to change the XSSFDrawing() constructors to public. Would appreciate any feedback on those issues or on the patch before I commit. Thank you.
I've tried the patch out and it compiled for me, passed the unit tests and when used with another test application successfully resolves this long standing bug: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45551
