> Key: PDFBOX-4553
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4553
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.15
> Reporter: Uziel Sulkies
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: regression
> Fix For: 2.0.16, 3.0.0 PDFBox

> 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)

> 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
> [^KYPolicy2.pdf]
