Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4532:
-----------------------------------------
Here's some code for anybody who wants to understand or work on the problem:
{code:java}
public class PDFBox4532ExtractText extends PDFTextStripper
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("PDFBOX-4532-reduced.pdf"));
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFBox4532ExtractText();
stripper.getText(doc);
}
public PDFBox4532ExtractText() throws IOException
{
addOperator(new BeginMarkedContentSequenceWithProperties());
addOperator(new EndMarkedContentSequence());
}
@Override
public void beginMarkedContentSequence(COSName tag, COSDictionary
properties)
{
System.out.println("BMC: tag: " + tag.getName() + ", properties: " +
properties);
if (properties != null && properties.containsKey(COSName.ACTUAL_TEXT))
{
System.out.println("BMC: TextMatrix: " + getTextMatrix());
System.out.println("BMC: ActualText: " +
properties.getString(COSName.ACTUAL_TEXT));
}
super.beginMarkedContentSequence(tag, properties);
}
@Override
public void endMarkedContentSequence()
{
System.out.println("EMC: TextMatrix: " + getTextMatrix());
System.out.println("EMC: CharactersByArticle: " + charactersByArticle);
super.endMarkedContentSequence();
}
}{code}
The output is:
{noformat}
BMC: tag: Span, properties:
COSDictionary{COSName{Lang}:COSString{en-US};COSName{MCID}:COSInt{8};}
BMC: tag: Span, properties: COSDictionary{COSName{ActualText}:COSString{.};}
BMC: TextMatrix: [50.0,0.0,0.0,50.0,125.0,700.0]
BMC: ActualText: .
EMC: TextMatrix: [50.0,0.0,0.0,50.0,137.5,700.0]
EMC: CharactersByArticle: [[0, ]]
EMC: TextMatrix: null
EMC: CharactersByArticle: [[0, , 1]]
{noformat}

> Key: PDFBOX-4532
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4532
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.15
> Reporter: Akash Gupta
> Priority: Major
> Labels: ActualText
> Attachments: FSUSA00BDD.pdf, PDFBOX-4532-reduced.pdf,
> code_textStripper.PNG, numbers_without_decimal.PNG
>
>
> I'm using the PDFTextStripperByArea to be specific and trying to extract a
> particular area from the document.
> In the output most the numbers (all but one) have their decimal point
> replaced by a white space. When I copy and paste the text using Abobe
> reader/chrome the decimal point are preserved.
