Hi,
I am running the example PrintTextLocations provided with PDFBox 1.8.1 to
get the width/height of each TextPosition. I have attached a simple 3 page
pdf on which I ran the test. The height of each text position seems to be
incorrect (Verified in photoshop). The same code seems to work fine for
other pdfs.
Code for reference:
public class PrintTextLocations extends PDFTextStripper {
public PrintTextLocations() throws IOException {
super.setSortByPosition(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
PDDocument document = null;
try {
File input = new File("C:\\path\\to\\PDF.pdf");
document = PDDocument.load(input);
if (document.isEncrypted()) {
try {
document.decrypt("");
} catch (InvalidPasswordException e) {
System.err.println("Error: Document is encrypted
with a password.");
System.exit(1);
}
}
PrintTextLocations printer = new PrintTextLocations();
List allPages = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
for (int i = 0; i < allPages.size(); i++) {
PDPage page = (PDPage) allPages.get(i);
System.out.println("Processing page: " + i);
PDStream contents = page.getContents();
if (contents != null) {
printer.processStream(page, page.findResources(),
page.getContents().getStream());
}
}
} finally {
if (document != null) {
document.close();
}
}
}
/**
* @param text The text to be processed
*/
@Override
protected void processTextPosition(TextPosition text) {
System.out.println(" String [x: " + text.getXDirAdj() + ", y: "
+ text.getY() + ", height:" + text.getHeightDir()
+ ", space: " + text.getWidthOfSpace() + ", width: "
+ text.getWidthDirAdj() + ", yScale: " + text.getYScale() + "]"
+ text.getCharacter());
}
}

Has anyone face a similar issue with incorrect height of TextPositions ?
Thanks for the help
