> Hi,
> i have noticed a big improvement in latest releases. Extraction is better but
> still has some problems.
> I have attached some files where i had problems.
> This is the code i use when extracting text:
> PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
> stripper.setStartPage( 1 );
> stripper.setEndPage( i );
> stripper.setSortByPosition(true);
> stripper.setWordSeparator("~");
> stripper.writeText(doc, sw);
> And here are some extracted lines from file1.pdf (I have skipped few lines
> and made them shorter because the problem is on the beggining of the line):

> Lines 07, 09, 17 are extracted well and well formated.
> Lines 03 and 04 share the same problem, there are unnecessary spaces which
> should be line separators (in my case "~" separates words). I have seen this
> in other documents.
> Lines 08 and 18 for example doesn't have word separator ("~") between two
> team names. The space in the document between "Wigan" and "Aston Villa"
> words is realy big.
> Lines 16 and 19 doesn't have word separator between second team name and
> first quota (COLCHESTER 1.70 and YEOVIL 1.67)
