Ah, but wait! RegionTextRenderFilter. You can give it a bounding box and it'll strain out everything that doesn't intersect that box. So you give it a bbox that excludes the header and footer, and it won't mess with the ordering like LocationTextExtractionStrategy does:
new FilteredRenderListener(new SimpleTextExtractionStrategy(), new RegionTextRenderFilter(boundingBox)); Best of both worlds? Definitely worth a shot. --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com import legalese.Disclaimer; Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard = null; > -----Original Message----- > From: DivyaKambhatla [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 12:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Split a PDF Page into header > ,footer and body. > > > Hi Mark, > > I had in fact tried using the > LocationTextExtractionStrategy first, but this gives a > problem with two columned PDFs.
