> 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.
