Harun Reşit Zafer created PDFBOX-3749:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: void writeString(String text, List<TextPosition>
textPositions) is not called per line
Key: PDFBOX-3749
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3749
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: Windows 10 64-bit
Reporter: Harun Reşit Zafer
Priority: Minor
Attachments: contract_00105_SEDAR.pdf
We overwrote the {{void writeString(String text, List<TextPosition>
textPositions)}} method of the {{PDFTextStripper}} to extract additional
position and style information from the PDFs. We thought this method would be
called per line and the elements of the parameter {{List<TextPosition>
textPositions }} would be all the letters, including the spaces in a line.
This is indeed the case for thousands of the documents. However, one particular
document, this is not the case and the {{textPositions}} contains just the
letters of a word and {{writeString}} is called per word.
I am not sure if this would be counted as a bug because the final extracted
text is not affected.
The problematic PDF is attached.
