Hi!
API docs for PDFTextStripper (
http://pdfbox.apache.org/docs/2.0.2/javadocs/org/apache/pdfbox/text/PDFTextStripper.html)
states that "This class will take a pdf document and strip out all of the
text and ignore the formatting and such". Please note that you can
call setAddMoreFormatting (
http://pdfbox.apache.org/docs/2.0.2/javadocs/org/apache/pdfbox/text/PDFTextStripper.html#setAddMoreFormatting(boolean))
with true and it will add a bit more formatting, but in my experience this
does not compare to using "pdftotext -layout" from Xpdf project. pdftotext
does a much better job preserving layout.
Best regards,
Kovi
