Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4806:
-----------------------------------------
You could use ExtractTextByArea if all the files are like this, you would have
to decide all the coordinates for the fields because this does not have
AcroForm (neither does the official form). If you just want a good text
extraction, then you'll have to use OCR, e.g. tesseract and render the PDF as
an image (Apache Tika does that if set).
Deciding whether to use OCR or not is the tricky part.
