Hello Tilman, thanks for your reply. That's it. I want to extract the text the way you did. You rotated 90° clockwise because you saw the text was rotated, right?
What I get from the page is that it has 0° rotation and the TextPosition 90° (on the contrary to page rotation, this is counter clock-wise, I assume). So the idea would be: Rotate the page until the text appears without rotation so the PDFTextStripper does its best to get the text, right? I mention this because I have been trying to get the text from the same pdf with all possible rotations (90, 180, 270). The pdf files I receive in the system can have any rotation on its page and on it's text. Thanks.
