> Hi,
> I am parsing a very complicated PDF, for which I had to enable
> (setSortByPosition as true), otherwise the Parser is not able to do
> sequential text extraction.
> So I decided to use PDFTextStripperByArea class, and then make rectangles to
> extract text. But problem here is that If I make many rectangles in a single
> page, again there is no logical sequence of text extracted, So to get around
> this it will be awesome to have a method to remove regions, then we can add a
> region extract text, remove that region , then again add new region and so
> on....
> I have already done a POC in my local computer and it works fine. added this
> method and tested.
> public void removeRegion(String regionName) {
> this.regions.remove(regionName);
> this.regionArea.remove(regionName);
> }
> I can contribute this code myself, if you suggest, let me know, thanks and
> regards
> Praveer
