Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-3370.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
It's not a bug, it's a feature:
Please open the file in Adobe Reader and try to mark an "l" of the file I
uploaded (or any glyph). You will notice that the rectangle is much larger.
PDFBox has a feature to suppress overlapping identical characters and that one
is on by default. You can switch that off with
stripper.setSuppressDuplicateOverlappingText(false).
{code}
* By default the text stripper will attempt to remove text that overlapps
each other. Word paints the same
* character several times in order to make it look bold. By setting this
to false all text will be extracted, which
* means that certain sections will be duplicated, but better performance
will be noticed.
{code}
If you have control over the generation of the file, use a font that has
correct font metrics (horiAdvance, horiBearingX).
