Hi Tilman, Sorry for the late response. I implemented the config file, and it worked well. Sadly, I noticed that this "sortByPosition" cannot parse well when PDF files have multiple columns in a page, as it follows an order of left->right, and top->down.
Pls see attached images. Is it possible you can advise me on how to deal with such case? Thanks so much.
