Aw: Re: Extract Text of Document with coordinates
thanks for the answer,
problem is: how can I get the extracted characters and coordinates with pdfbox version 2.0.0.
The example reffers to an older version of pdfbox.

Yes, the printtextlocations (or DrawPrintTextLocations) example is a
good start. Look for the blanks and build words from there.

printtextlocations (or DrawPrintTextLocations) are also available in the 2.0 version, although slightly changed.
