> As mentioned in the mailing list, the pdfTextStriper does not allow to change the default textPositionComparator used for orderning the char on the page.

> > import java.util.Comparator;
> 69c70,76
> <     //enable the ability to set the default indent/drop thresholds
> ---
> >     /**

> >      * page.

> >     private Comparator<TextPosition> textPositionComparator=  new TextPositionComparator();
