--------------------------------------------------------------

This fixes the issue with PrintTextLocations not working. Note that overriding 
processTextPosition was never correct and 1.8 shouldn't have been doing it this 
way. PrintTextLocations is really misusing these APIs.

> When using the following override method of PDFTextStripper I am getting a 
> large difference in values for TextPosition.getWidthOfSpace() between version

> @Override
>  protected void processTextPosition(TextPosition textPos)

>     float spaceWidth = textPos.getWidthOfSpace();
>     float width = textPos.getWidth();
>     System.out.println(textPos.getCharacter() + " - Width of Space=" +
