I get the same bad spacing out of Foxit Reader. I tried sort by
position, with no luck. You might be able to twiddle with the
spacingTolerance or the averageCharTolerance on this one file to get
better results, but I don't think there is anything
systematic/automatic that can be done. OCR might be better?

One of my PDFs has an electronic text that when extracted has

“banks”, I get: c o m m e r c i a l b a n k s
I’m attaching the extract file and the original PDF. Other files
extract just fine.
I thought the section on extra whitespace might be helpful:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=109454066,
and then tried out PDFbox:
java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.20.jar ExtractText ./files/1634473.pdf
Where I get the same result as Tika. Setting maybe?
