John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2545:
-------------------------------------
This is probably best described as a bug; text outside the clipping area
shouldn't be extracted, based on Acrobat's behaviour. This makes sense for
example when an entire page is embedded as a Form XObject and clipped to show
only a smaller portion, such as a diagram,
> ExtractText extracts filename and date

> Key: PDFBOX-2545
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2545
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.8.7
> Reporter: Stefan Postema
> Attachments: 07-ALS-Onvoldoende-eten.pdf
>
>
> When using PDFBox 1.8 (and also a snapshot of 2.0.0), the ExtractText method
> produces text which also contains the original Adobe Indesign filename (and
> also the date and used images).
> Command line example:
> java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ExtractText
> 07-ALS-Onvoldoende-eten.pdf test.txt
> The first lines of this test.txt file are:
> VSN_Briefpapier_ontwerp_V03.indd 1 06-04-12 11:02
> Wat kan ik doen als het niet lukt om voldoende te eten? ALS en voeding
> Drinkvoeding
> Which should be without the Filename and date.
> When copy/pasting the text using Adobe Reader, the Indesign filename didn't
> show up. Using a CLI tool 'pdftotext' also didn't show up the line with the
> filename.
