Billow Gao updated PDFBOX-2912:
-------------------------------
Description:
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.
In my test, I set negativeStartXTolerance to 4
