What you call 'fixing' the format, others might call 'breaking' it. In general, therefore, the content should be returned as untempered as possible by the standard text extraction strategies, merely the line breaks and word divisions detected by coordinate jumps should be inserted. This being said you can obviously create your own text extraction strategy which ignores gaps between text segments and even throws away content white space as your current regular expressions do. Simply copy the SimpleTextExtractionStrategy you currently use and adapt its renderText method accordingly. BTW, Christian Eric Paran wrote > I am making a Search Engine using PDF Files as a Source.

Unless you somehow can be sure that the PDFs you search have page contents ordered in reading order, the SimpleTextExtractionStrategy may be too simple a strategy to use anyways.
