Uziel Sulkies created PDFBOX-4553:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Break of backward compatibility from 2.0.14 to 2.0.15
Key: PDFBOX-4553
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4553
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Parsing
Affects Versions: 2.0.15
Reporter: Uziel Sulkies
Attachments: KYPolicy2.pdf
We use PDFTextStripper to parse some PDF documents. The parsing sometimes
assumes the file template and the order of the words in it.
The following Kotlin code prints the text content of the attached file, sorted
by position.
{code:java}
fun main() {
val pdfTextStripper = PDFTextStripper()
pdfTextStripper.sortByPosition = true
val text =
pdfTextStripper.getText(PDDocument.load(File("/path/to/file/KYPolicy2.pdf").readBytes()))
print(text)
}
{code}
Running this code with PDFBox 2.0.14 and 2.0.15 giving different parsing for
the line
{quote}POLICY PERIOD: FROM 02/18/2018 TO 02/18/2019 (2.0.14)
POLICY PERIOD: FROM 02/18/2018 02/18/2019TO (2.0.15)
{quote}
I suspect the cause is the changes done in this commit:
[https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/commit/068146a9c9fe59becbd82814b6a245f8158fce22]
This somehow prevents us for safely upgrading to the newer version
