Hi Yan, thanks for the answer but that is not my issue. What I'm saying is that I think the PDFBox components responsible for extracting text (PDFTextStripper and PDFTextStripperByArea) don't consider the current clipping area, the way PageDrawer does.. or at least that's how it looks to me, so I'm asking is this the case? Shouldn't it be taken into account? As for the form xobject I mentioned, it's an example to explain my issue.
