Daniel Persson commented on PDFBOX-3073:
----------------------------------------
Yes but if you use all the information from the PDF with the local coorinates
and your function in the PDFTextStreamEngine.java then all data is in the wrong
place when you actually have media and crop boxes that differs in size. I've
ran about 500 examples and get the wrong placement of text every time. But if I
change this to media box and then recalculate the data to the crop box after
the data has been extracted I get the correct positions.
> Change to use media box for page size instead of cropbox.
