Flipping the lines would seem problematic too (though still an improvement),
how would it handle:

A line with an Arabic العربية word embedded.

> PDFTextStripper has problem with bilingual documents
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2252
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2252
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.8.6
> Reporter: Amir
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: test.pdf
>
>
> When the input document of PDFTextStripper is a combination of right-to-left
> and left-to-right languages, the output characters of one language is
> reversed.
> A sample bilingual pdf document is attached.
> PDFTextStripper has a variable "isRtlDominant" in "writePage" function, which
> is defined as follows: boolean isRtlDominant = rtlCount > ltrCount;
> This class clearly count the number of rtl characters and decide if the whole
> content should be revered or not. It's not true, it must operate on each
> word, not the whole document.
