> Document layout analysis tools needed
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2998
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2998
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Andreas Meier
>
> PDFBox will need some document layout analysis tools to extract text
> correctly.
> At the Moment the text of a document is extracted using the position of
> single characters.
> This may lead to wrong results, due to the format of the file
> For a good extraction, layout analysis and segmentation has to be done in a
> previous step.
> https://code.google.com/p/lapdftext
> Would be a good solution for a layout analysis tool, unfortunately, it
> heavily relies on other libraries and needs Java 1.6 to run.
> The layout analysis tool should segementate the file and return a list or set
> of rectangles.
