It does recognize columns but I don't have a clue which algorithm is behind..
whitespace detection ? Still it does recognize the columns *below* "scolaire
ferry" and "réouverture du musée".
In the attachment hardtests-11.png you can see the lines, one color per
distinct line.
You just have to do
{code:java}
this.setParagraphEnd("");
this.setParagraphStart("");
this.setLineSeparator("");
this.setWordSeparator("");
{code}

> Affects Versions: 2.0.8

> Dear Apache contributors,
> I am a (y) user of pdfbox mainly for the purpose of text extraction. The word
> ordering is not correct for some cases and the line detection may fail too.
> Attachments:
> * 1st page: the first letter D is not written before "uis sit amet..." but
> at the end of the page ;
> * 2nd page: the sentence "scolaire ferry" is just before "réouverture du
> musée" which is wrong because it's not on the same column ;
> To manage these cases would be more than welcome :D A.
