Billow Gao created PDFBOX-2912:
----------------------------------
Summary: PDFTextStripper: positionX < previous positionX case
Key: PDFBOX-2912
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2912
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 1.8.10
Reporter: Billow Gao
It's possible that positionX is smaller than previous character's positionX.
Current PDFTextStripper will not add space and extract them to one word.
Added a patch to compare positionX < previous positionX case which can insert a
space.
Disabled by default.
Tested with 10002 PDF files which had the negative positionX issue. The result
was improved for all of them.
