             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 0.7.3
         Environment: Windows Server 8 - 64 Bit version, JDK 1.4.2_16
            Reporter: Naga Kishore Vankayala
            Priority: Critical


Hello Sir,

We are facing an issue with one of our current requirement which is to read 
content from one of the PDF document which has some placeholders in it. These 
placeholders are required to be replaced with new values and the then to save 
the document in PDF format with these new values. We have looked at the class 
ReplaceString.java which provides this functionality of replacing a single 
string in the adobe document, but we will not be able to use this class as we 
have approx 15 strings to be replaced. We are looking for a functionality which 
can help us to replace these 15 strings once the file is read and before saving 
the file with new string values. We have tried the following approach, we 
looked at the source of ReplaceString.Java file and used the source code to 
replace the multiple strings, what we have observed during debugging that while 
reading the document the returned token contains only the random portion of the 
placeholder string and not the complete word (sometimes it contains first 3 
characters of the word and sometimes last 4 characters of the word); we never 
get the token with complete placeholder word or string. We are using JDK 
1.4.2_16 version on 64 bit windows system. Any help to realize the required 
fucntionality is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Naga Kishore Vankayala
