> Hello, I extract the text with PDFBox from PDF files. I noticed that extraction of text from some pdf files are not so good as expected. I have a seria of pdf invoices from which I try to extract the text with coordinates and resultat is pretty well, but I noticed very strange thing: when I extract text - the words are extracted without whitespaces bettween. Example: if I try to extract "Unit Price" the result is "UnitPrice".
> But if I open the invoice in Adobe Reader and make "Copy/Past" into Notepad... I have the "Unit Price" with whitespaces!
> I think the whitespaces are not present in original pdf document... but the Adobe Reader in some way "insert" whitespaces between words when it show content of the pdf.
>  
> Guys, can you please suggest me how I can have the strings with spaces after the parsing? 
> See example of invoice here: http://www.cloudforpeople.com/Invoice1.pdf
> PS: I want to try the 1.8.0. version of PDFBox - how I can download it?
> Many thanks,
> Vitalie
