You get the space in ExtractText but the spaces are often not in the PDF
itself so they won't be in the TextPosition objects. PDFBox uses
heuristics to insert spaces in the final extracted text, i.e. assume
there is a space due to the distance between glyphs.

*Scenario:*
To get each word details such as 'Text', 'Font', 'Size' etc from a PDF.
*Approach:*
*1. *Get 'charactersByArticle' available in the PDFTextStripper class for
each page in the PDF.
*2. *It returns a list of TextPosition objects which contains each
characters' text, font, font-size etc.
*Query:*
I am able to get the TextPosition object for each character in the PDF text
but in order to define words I required the default word-separator (" ")
from 'charactersByArticle'. Why doesn't it print the space character or is
there a flag which I can set in the PDFTextStripper so that it prints the
text along with the space character.
Thanks
