Re: Problem reading a PDF file

Dear Glen, PDFStreamParser is only for parsing PDF content streams (so specific parts of a PDF) and not the complete PDF. As a starting point take a look at CustomGraphicsStreamEngine and or CustomPageDrawer in the examples package. Also PDFTextStripper will give you some ideas how to process

I'm trying to examine an existing PDF file. Initially to extract text and maybe images, but ultimately to apply some logic to the formatting of the text to turn it into valid HTML with H1, H2, ul, li, etc. I thought I would start like this: PDFStreamParser sParse = new

Karl, Got it. I understand the point about XObjects and how pdfBox might be missing the XObject because typically they are images. I am hoping someone here might have had luck making pdfBox get data from XObject elements that contain text. Thanks, Pulkit On Thu, Feb 2, 2017 at 10:36 AM, Karl

Pulpit, I did not say that in your document the XObjects are images, I said that they usually are just images. When you analyze 100 random PDF documents, changes are that that most of them only use the XObject construct for images and vector graphic, not for elements that contain text. Your

Re: Spaces are ignored when reading a PDF file

just an idea from whom is not fluent in pdfbox nor PDF. if you just want to know there is a space in between the letters and not the amount of spaces, you can use your code to get character details and then use extractText to get the words. 2016-03-17 7:20 GMT-03:00 Hesham G.

Clovis, Thanks a lot :) I will have to follow this solution if there is no alternative. The problem is that if I am extracting text of 500 or 600 pages PDF, that will consume much additional memory and time. In addition I guess it's only a special case for latex books only. Best regards ,

I’m rather confused by this thread, inferring spaces is one of the the main features of PDFTextStripper. I’m not sure why anyone is suggesting to process the text manually - there’s no need to do that. We do that already! Looking at the original code the problem is right here: > public class
