Jukka Zitting updated PDFBOX-586:
---------------------------------
Summary: Text Extraction on Android (was: Text Extraction Regression ?)
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
Sounds like the problem is caused by the changes you're making to the source
code, so I updated this issue from being a regression bug to an improvement
request to make PDFBox work better in the Android environment.
Can you please attach a patch of the changes you've made? We may want to
incorporate some of the changes in PDFBox to make it easier to use with Android.

> Hi,
> I have noticed that I can extract text some PDF files in PDFBox 0.7.4 but for
> the same file, the same page, PDFBox 1.1.0 doesn't retreive any text, or the
> extraction is worst.
> Am I the only only one who think there is a regression in text extraction ?
> My code is like this :
> PDDocument document = PDDocument.load("/sdcard/internals.pdf");
> int numberOfPages = document.getNumberOfPages();
> resources = this.getResources();
>
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() resources : "+resources); //
> ANDROID code here to get file
> resourceGlyphList = R.raw.glyphlist;
> InputStream rawResource =
> resources.openRawResource(R.raw.pdftextstripper); // PDFBOX property file
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() rawResource : "+rawResource);
> Properties properties = new Properties();
> properties.load(rawResource);
>
> PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(properties );
>
> stripper.setStartPage(pageNumber ); // 1 or any other page
> stripper.setEndPage(pageNumber ); // same page as above
> String s = "Page : "+pageNumber+"<br><br>"+stripper.getText(document);
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() stripper extract pages text
> : "+s);
> Maybe I should use page.getContents().getStream() or
> stripper.getTextForRegion( "class1" ) or stripper.writeText(doc,
> outputStream)
> I want the text as a String, not as a newly created file....
