-----------------------------------------------------------------
The cause of the problem was that the fonts in your have a (0 0 0 0) bounding
box, and the text was not exactly at same height, so PDFBox thought it was on
different lines. The modification is to use the CapHeight in this case. I have
attached the text extraction (oops, I didn't use the sort option, but the
output seems to be the same) with both versions.
