Andreas Meier commented on PDFBOX-2272:
---------------------------------------

The patch "pdfbox_new_vertical_text_extraction.patch" contains a small and 
basic set of the simple rotation mechanism.
I tested the changes with some PDF's where the "sortByPosition(true)" approach 
failed and it worked just fine.

Some more tests have to be done:
- performance test
- text extraction of specific text areas

The files "PDFTextStripper.java" and "vertical.patch" should be deleted to 
avoid confusion.

> Can't extract vertical text correctly

> - -1.8.6 can't extract the Unicode due to failing to map the UCS2 CMap for 
> 90ms-RKSJ-V.-
> - 2.0 extracts the text but can't handle the vertical layout
> Also see the file from PDFBOX-2294 which contains both horizontal and 
> vertical text.
