-----------------------------------
Summary: PDFParserConfig default values were accidentally swapped
Key: TIKA-3131
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3131
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.24.1
Reporter: Clark Perkins
When default values were added for averageCharTolerance and spacingTolerance as
a part of TIKA-3091, their values appear to have been inadvertently swapped.
>From PDFBox:
{noformat}
private float spacingTolerance = .5f;
private float averageCharTolerance = .3f;
{noformat}
>From tika 1.24.1:
{noformat}
//The character width-based tolerance value used to estimate where spaces
in text should be added
//Default taken from PDFBox.
private Float averageCharTolerance = 0.5f;
//The space width-based tolerance value used to estimate where spaces in
text should be added
//Default taken from PDFBox.
private Float spacingTolerance = 0.3f;
{noformat}
This effective change in defaults has caused PDFParser to start adding more
spaces than it did in 1.24 and earlier.
