Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-588:
-------------------------------------------
I found a solution for the (rendering-)issue. It is a dirty hack and I'll need
some time to create a suitable patch. I've attached the rendering result as png.
The extraction is also improved but not perfect. The problem is the fact that
the single lines of the caption and the text are not at the same level, so that
it is difficult to decide, wether two lines are on one line or not. I've also
attached the extraction result.

> Hello ,
>
> I have a PDF file with 1 page only, when I try to extract its text using :
> String pageData = stripper.getText( pdfFile );
> It ignores some Enter characters between lines, so the last word in the line
> and the first word in the next line appear as 1 word without spaces between
> them !!
> While if I copy the PDF text manually from the PDF and paste it in a text
> editor, Enter characters appear after the same lines that caused the problem
> in PDFBox.
> Please check the attached file as a sample.
>
> Is there a way to fix this ?
>
> Best regards ,
