John Gesimondo created PDFBOX-4760:
--------------------------------------
Summary: wordSeparator not being inserted when line ends with " "
Key: PDFBOX-4760
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4760
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 2.0.18
Reporter: John Gesimondo
If you set the wordSeparator to something other than space (like "\t") for
instance, but the word happens to end with " ", it won't add the designated
wordSeparator.
That's because in the LOC that adds the word separator it is hard coded that if
the line ends with " ", the word separator should be skipped. This is not
proper because it assumes you are using " " word separator, but this is a
configurable option.

fix: change {{.endsWith(" ")}} to {{.endsWith(wordSeparator)}}
