Tilman,
I have reported this because the PDF appeared normal to me. If there is a way to read the text in the PDF in a right way I hope you could help me with that.

You can test a 1-page sample PDF from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9i9ofl3tje4iy3k/wrong_space_parsed_sample.pdf?dl=1 You can see wrong read words like : aboutmidnight, andbefore, CountyDonegal, ... I have tried to use PDFTextStripper.setAverageCharTolerance(...) to control space sensitivity but it didn't make any change. Any idea why this happens and how to fix it ?
