Tika breaks words of rotated text in PDF documents
--------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-796
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-796
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.0, 0.10
Environment: Windows 7 Professional x64, Java(TM) SE Runtime
Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build
20.0-b11, mixed mode)
Reporter: Franz Canaval
When Tika extracts text from a PDF file, *rotated texts are extracted in a way
that words are broken.* Apparently the number of lines of a rotated paragraph
seems to be the number of characters after which Tika breaks the words apart
with a line feed (0x0a) character.
Steps to reproduce this issue (in this example, on a Windows machine):
* Download the following pdf file:
[http://www.verbraucherzentrale-rlp.de/mediabig/115471A.pdf], e.g. to C:\temp\
* Open a console window and run tika with: {{java -jar tika-app.jar -t
"file:///c:/temp/energieberatung.pdf" > test.txt}}
* Have a look at the text file, e.g. with a hex editor and note the words
broken in 2-character-pieces: {{<char1><char2><LF>}}
*This problems seems to be introduced with Tika 0.10, it still exists with Tika
1.0.*
