> When extracting text for the pdf (see attachement) with setSortByPosition(true), the output does not follow nor the visual position of the elements, nor the document structure.
> Here is the output of PDfTextStripper :
> 11111 333333333333333 : 222222222 
> The expected output would be :
> 11111 : 222222222 333333333333333 
> The string « 11111 : » is defined in only one instruction :
>  [(1) -9.555729866 (1) 17.5939998627 (1) 3.5597500801 (1) 1.9403500557 (1) 4.1794600487 ( ) -0.1493600011 (:) -4.7775301933 ( ) 250 ] TJ
> How explain that the 3... is inserted inside ?
> (Note : the pdf has been deflated and edited for « anonymising » the text. I also removed a picture, wich explain the XRef error )
