Vitalie Bureanu created PDFBOX-1553:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Offset of extracted coordinates
Key: PDFBOX-1553
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1553
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.8.0
Environment: Linux Ubuntu 64 bit, Java
Reporter: Vitalie Bureanu
Hello,
Preamble: We are glad to use PDFBox and I personally grateful to all developers
who sustain this project. It is good work, guys!
We have one problem. For our application purposes we extract from pdf "char by
char" with rispective coordinates for each char. (see attached Parser)
After this we group chars into the words. We noticed that for some pdf
documents we have a strange "offset" for extracted coordinates. (see screens)
The offset is incremental - at left top corner of document is near to real
coordinates of charcater, but at right bottom corner is near to 0.5 cm..
If I make selection in Adobe Reader - it seems all ok.
I attached two pdf files with offset to this post.
If you want to see the offset "in action" you can use our service to do it at
