I suggest you give "LocationTextExtractionStrategy" a shot. It has a
bit more brains when it comes to deciding which characters should be
grouped and which should not.
>From the JavaDoc:
This renderer also uses a simple strategy based on the font metrics to
determine if a blank space should be inserted into the output.
Specifically:
float dist = chunk.distanceFromEndOf(lastChunk);
if (dist < -chunk.charSpaceWidth)
sb.append(' ');
And thanks to this being an open source project, if that isn't sensitive
enough for you, you could add a "spaceFudge" setting to
LocationTextExtractionStrategy and play with its value to get the output
you want.
So you'd want something like:
String pageText = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage( reader, pageNum,
new LocationTextExtractionStrategy() );
I wish you luck.
