---------------------------------------
Hi [~tilman],
Do You mean that
[https://tika.apache.org/1.23/api/org/apache/tika/parser/pdf/PDFParserConfig.html#setSortByPosition(boolean)]
as true might help with correct text extraction in this particular case?
According to the description it might introduce other issues, am I right:
_If true, sort text tokens by their x/y position before extracting text. This
may be necessary for some PDFs (if the text tokens are not rendered "in
order"), while for other PDFs it can produce the wrong result (for example if
there are 2 columns, the text will be interleaved). Default is false._
Best Regards,
Yauheni Salopiy
