Ema Panz commented on PDFBOX-521:
---------------------------------
Hi, thank you for your work in HTML stripper! I've done some works in the
"Guessing Title" part of your code and I've ended up to a better method (that
maybe needs some further work) my code is here :http://pastebin.com/HNNsk0qJ
What I've implemented:
1. font-size comparisons is now regarding font size in points (pt)
2. the minimum font size is calculated from the a base font size (maybe guessed
from the document body text)
3. the title length is now bigger: 180 chars (I've some scientific papers with
long titles)
I know that my code isn't in the apache coding standards... please don't be
much hard on me! :)
Cheers
> Improved PDF Text Extraction that notes paragraph boundaries
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-521
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-521
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Parsing
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Mel Martinez
> Attachments: pdftextstripper2.zip
>
>
> The current behavior of the org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper class is
> to ignore paragraph demarcation in the text. It basically just renders each
> line of text as it discovers it, separating each line equally with the same
> line separator.
> This makes it difficult to identify paragraph (or even page) starts and stops
> in the extracted text. This is often necessary for text processing that
> needs to work with logical 'chunks' of text. Further, rendering into other
> formats (such as HTML or XML) is facilitated by resolving the document into
> more discrete logical text chunks.
> The request here is for improved text extraction that provides more discrete
> instrumentation of the parsing, allowing one to identify / tag paragraph
> starts and stops.
