Christopher Clark closed PDFBOX-2839.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Having looked at this further I see that a 1:1 correspondence between
characters and text positions was not intended
> Missing TextPosition(s) in PDFTextStripper
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-2839
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2839
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Christopher Clark
>
> The protected method `writeString` in `PDFTextStripper` can receive more
> characters than TextPositions. I tracked the problem down to the
> `normalizeAdd` method where, for multi-character unicode words, Multiple
> characters can be added to a line while only a single TextPosition object is
> added to the corresponding list of TextPositions.
> This pdf: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W/W13/W13-4011.pdf contains such a
> character.
