Jukka Zitting commented on PDFBOX-800:
--------------------------------------
We might consider enabling the sortByPosition option by default in PDFBox, as
the performance impact isn't too bad (around 5% on some documents I tested
with). Alternatively you can file an improvement request for Tika to explicitly
set the option in its PDFParser class.
> Wrong text extract from vertical textboxes in pdf files
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-800
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-800
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parsing
> Environment: Windows 7, VS 2010 C#, Tika Library
> Reporter: Sandor Dj
> Attachments: problemdoc.doc, problemdoc.pdf

>
> I was told to move this issue to the pdfbox parser, so I hope this is the
> right section.
> Vertical textboxes in pdf files are not extracted correctly (using the tika
> library in C#).
> For example if there is a vertical textbox "hello" in a pdf file (!WITHOUT!
> line breaks):
> H
> E
> L
> L
> O
> the parser returns 5 strings, each with a single letter, even there is NO
> line break after every letter.
> Is there a option to avoid this problem?
