Hi,
If all your files are like that, just dump the space, and make your
extraction on positions only. There is no guarantee that there are
spaces in a PDF between two words anyway.

I understand, but is there anything I can do in my code to get the string
as shown in ExtractText?
I am subclassing PDFTextStripper, similar to what is done
in PrintTextLocations, and the string coming into writeString(String
string, List<TextPosition> textPositions) is the one where all the spaces
occur.
Thanks

Here's what I got with ExtractText command line application:

However I think I understand the cause of your problem, because there's
output like this:
String[461.20358,340.904 fs=1.0 xscale=1.0 height=4.44 space=4.7999997
width=4.799988]6
String[461.20428,340.904 fs=1.0 xscale=1.0 height=6.48 space=7.2
width=7.200012]
i.e. space and a character at the same place. See this content stream:

There are two lines that start at the same position 29.204 451.096, one
with blanks, one with a text. That is a bug by the creator of the file.

I have a couple of PDF files that have this problem. These are
multi-page PDF files, and on one page (the first) there are a few lines
that get extra spaces between almost every character as seen from
PrintTextLocations.
Attached is a snippet from one of those files, the first line has the
problem, the second line does not.
In this file, the first line gets a string that is
0 3- 09 3 ,4 1 1. 6 9 EL E CT R ON I C D EP O SI T
F DM S -S E TT L EM E NT D E PO S IT 37 6 24 9 46 2 99
9
While the second line gets the text without any extra spaces.
The two lines also have different spacing values as reported by
PrintTextLocations. In the full file, all the good lines have one
value,
the bad lines a different value.
I cannot see any difference between the lines in Acrobat, doing
copy/paste, Nitro editing.
This problem shows up in 2.0.0 and the latest 2.0.1 snapshot, and some
older versions I tried as well (i.e. I don't think it is any kind of
regression)
Thanks
