---------------------------------------
You might be interested in the {{LayoutTextStripper}} (which extends the PDFBox
{{PDFTextStripper}} to return text lines which attempt to reflect the PDF file
layout) from [this stack overflow
answer|https://stackoverflow.com/a/45842515/1729265].
Beware, though, that class is based on PDFBox 1.8.x, not yet 2.0.x.
Or Jonathan Link's
[PDFLayoutTextStripper|https://jonathanlink.ch/PDFLayoutTextStripper.html]
which is a similar class.
> When a PDF has table with blank entries in the column the stripper just
