Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4101:
-----------------------------------------
Try the sort option... however you still won't be satisfied... PDFBox doesn't
know about columns. You as a human know this, but PDFBox doesn't have any
heuristics to detect this. It can be done with "article beads" but your PDF
doesn't have them. Same for the "D" - how would PDFBox "know" that it belongs
to the very beginning?
> Word ordering / line detection failures in text extraction

> Key: PDFBOX-4101
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4101
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8
> Reporter: Alexandre
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: fails_line_detection.pdf
>
>
> Dear Apache contributors,
> I am a (y) user of pdfbox mainly for the purpose of text extraction. The word
> ordering is not correct for some cases and the line detection may fail too.
> Attachments:
> * 1st page: the first letter D is not written before "uis sit amet..." but
> at the end of the page ;
> * 2nd page: the sentence "scolaire ferry" is just before "réouverture du
> musée" which is wrong because it's not on the same column ;
> To manage these cases would be more than welcome :D A.
