My objective is to perform a layout analysis and try to reproduce the PDF layout in a text file. However, I'm facing a huge problem: identify not visible characters. In the annexed file, the text "Alandroal (Nossa Senhora da Conceic..." is using some space used by the word "Rural" (row 5), but not visible. I would like to someone help me to get a way to identify the text not visible, in order to avoid those characters in the text file. This approach: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19809813/how-to-check-if-a-text-is-transparent-with-pdfbox doesn't work in the annexed file (only works with images). Many thanks in advance, Paulo Sergio
