Vitalie Bureanu created PDFBOX-1542:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Whitespaces between words are not created
Key: PDFBOX-1542
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1542
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 1.7.1
Reporter: Vitalie Bureanu
Priority: Minor
Hello, I extract the text with PDFBox from PDF files. I noticed that extraction
of text from some pdf files are not so good as expected. I have a seria of pdf
invoices from which I try to extract the text with coordinates and resultat is
pretty well, but I noticed very strange thing: when I extract text - the words
are extracted without whitespaces bettween. Example: if I try to extract "Total
Amount" the result is "TotalAmount".
But if I open the invoice in Adobe Reader and make "Copy/Past" into Notepad...
I have the "Total Amount" with whitespaces!
I think the whitespaces are not present in original pdf document... but the
Adobe Reader in some way "insert" whitespaces between words when it show
content of the pdf.
Guys, can you please suggest me how I can have the strings with spaces after
the parsing?
See example of invoice here: http://www.cloudforpeople.com/Invoice1.pdf
PS: I want to try the 1.8.0. version of PDFBox - how I can download it?
Many thanks,
Vitalie
