-------------------------------------
You may also want to look at [PDFBOX-521]. I've uploaded a fairly configurable
rewrite of PDFTextStripper there. Download and review the javadoc comments in
it for details.

> Hello ,
>
> I have a PDF file with 1 page only, when I try to extract its text using :
> String pageData = stripper.getText( pdfFile );
> It ignores some Enter characters between lines, so the last word in the line
> and the first word in the next line appear as 1 word without spaces between
> them !!
> While if I copy the PDF text manually from the PDF and paste it in a text
> editor, Enter characters appear after the same lines that caused the problem
> in PDFBox.
> Please check the attached file as a sample.
>
> Is there a way to fix this ?
>
> Best regards ,
