1. You posted this question on Nabble, ignoring the warning that you are not subscribed on the iText mailing-list. Somebody had to manually approve your question. Please avoid this. Read http://itextpdf.com/nabble 2. This mailing-list is being abandoned in favor of StackOverflow. See the intro of https://leanpub.com/itext_so 3. a. You are not telling us how you are extracting the text. Maybe you aren't using the correct extraction strategy. 3. b. If you are using the correct extraction strategy, you should know that iText returns the string based on the height of the baselines. You claim that the X value is wrong, but (1.) this is not true, and (2.) that is irrelevant. Maybe the Y-value of the baseline of "01/01/2008 RECU FFG FFG3801024 004 FFG LF42032" is higher than the Y-value of the baseline of "*44566020 TVA A*", in that case you need to use an adapted strategy that introduces a higher tolerance for the position of the baseline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
