-------------------------------------
Wow.
That is wierd.
It only takes 40 seconds to extract from PDF Ref v1.7 on my box, with PDFBox
v1.4.0.
Do you maybe have a font file that is heavily fragmented or something like that?

> 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 ,
