> Environment: AIX Version 7
> Reporter: Marc Stuart

> We want to use TextToPDF in batch command line mode to convert legacy reports
> which assume a mono-spaced font, but the PDF files created ignore all leading
> spaces. Obviously, this messes up column alignment. We can't use the tool
> without a fix for this. Or is there a parameter we can pass? Here is the
> command line we are using: {{java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.10.jar TextToPDF
> -standardFont Courier -fontSize 6 gprod.pdf gprod.txt}}.
> I tried downloading 2.0.2, but it is stuck at "WARNING: Building on-disk font
> cache, this may take a while".
> P.S. I am also submitting a second ticket (PDFBOX-3410) regarding the need
> for orientation control in TextToPDF. Most of our old legacy reports are 128
> characters wide and without a Landscape option, they come out wrapped into
> illegibility.
