Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-588:
-------------------------------------------
Without having a hand on that specific pdf it would be difficult to determine
if there is an issue or not. If you are able to provide us with the pdf, please
create a new issue and append the sample to it.
BTW: I ran some tests on the pdf-reference (> 1300 pages). It took me 24
seconds to extract the whole text. The 3 versions 1.2.1, 1.3.1 and 1.4. 0 all
needed the same amount of time.

> 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 ,
