Justin LeFebvre updated PDFBOX-444:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: Text extraction
> Incorrect Diacritic Merging/Placement
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-444
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-444
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Reporter: Justin LeFebvre
> Attachments: 03_2_SSL-sorted.txt, 03_2_SSL-unsorted.txt, 03_2_SSL.pdf

> When looking at the spacing issue found in PDFBOX-77, I found a separate
> issue with the placement of the diacritic characters in the file 03_2_SSL.pdf
> which I have attached here.
> The issue is that there are separate TextPositions used to render the
> character itself and its diacritic. For example, the word
> And¨ erung, should have its diacritic over the A character and not after the
> d. This sort of issue occurs when the -sort option is enabled. Otherwise the
> produced word looks like this,
> ¨Anderung. This is still not correct in that the A and the diacritic should
> be merged to take up one character's width of space. This occurs throughout
> the document.
> Currently, PDFBOX does handle merging of diacritic characters but it assumes
> that the TextPosition for the diacritic occurs after the TextPosition it is
> supposed to be merged with, when in this file
> the diacritic TextPosition comes beforehand.
