> Key: PDFBOX-5411
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5411
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.25, 3.0.0 PDFBox
> Reporter: Lapo Luchini
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: image-2022-04-08-16-13-17-334.png,

> a mix simply based on "leftmost x coordinate of the glyph", which makes
> sense, but it could make use of glyph size to disambiguate "easy" cases like
> this one:
> !image-2022-04-08-16-13-17-334.png!
> currently this is the first parameter of PDFTextStripper.writeString(String
> string, List<TextPosition> textPositions):
> {{"T0510E09620_S368b3aT92-29fa -4Leef-80I5e-N53c23efE7979f"}}
> I would of course hope for two calls:
> {{"TEST LINE"}}
> {{"051009620_368b3a92-29fa-4eef-805e-53c23ef7979f"}}
