Ronald Bergmann commented on PDFBOX-4904:
-----------------------------------------
That's a good point. Thankfully tables and sorts are not an issue for this
particular project of mine but for others.
How come it's not the default option, btw? Don't people expect to get the text
in the order they see it (in the reader, not in the sources)?

> some conditions.
>
> {code:java}
> try (PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("152-0130-20-B-Ö-43.pdf"))) {
> PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
> String contents = stripper.getText(doc);
> System.out.println(contents);
> }
> {code}
> See section w) - the text should be:
> _*Präqualifizierte Unternehmen* führen den Nachweis der Eignung durch den
> Eintrag in_
> _die Liste des Vereins für die Präqualifikation von Bauunternehmen e.V._
> _(Präqualifikationsverzeichnis). ..._
> But it actually is:
> _führen den Nachweis der Eignung durch den Eintrag in *Präqualifizierte
> Unternehmen*_
> _die Liste des Vereins für die Präqualifikation von Bauunternehmen e.V._
> _(Präqualifikationsverzeichnis)._
>
> I attached an example PDF.

> /edit: pdfjs and Acrobat can copy/paste the text in order.
