Alexandre commented on PDFBOX-4101: ----------------------------------- It does recognize columns but I don't have a clue which algorithm is behind.. whitespace detection ? Still it does recognize the columns *below* "scolaire ferry" and "réouverture du musée". In the attachment hardtests-11.png you can see the lines, one color per distinct line. > 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-sort.txt, > fails_line_detection-unsort.txt, fails_line_detection.pdf, hardtests-11.png > > > Dear Apache contributors, > I am a (y) user of pdfbox mainly for the purpose of text extraction.
