karthik guns commented on PDFBOX-4764:
--------------------------------------
I was testing with nearly 10 different pdfs the pdf stripper takes the value
from the table looking like below
Order# PO Number
11111 TL12
Extracted output
Line1:
Order#
Line2:
PO Number
Line3:
11111
Line4:
TL12
But in one unique Pdf the strip value is getting displayed as below for the
same table structure
Line1:
Order# PO Number
Line2:
11111 TL12
In this case even if we delimit with space again the string of PO and number
is getting split as its one column (Any thoughts on this)
> When a PDF has table with blank entries in the column the stripper just
> ignores the column and moves to next field in the coulmn
