> In the output of PDF-box the white lines between
> paragraphs are lost. For me the white lines are
> important info to detect different paragraphs in texts,
> so I would like to know if there is a way to keep the
> white lines in the output. I hope it doesn't take much
> effort to make this possible, I'll have a look at it
> myself as well..

> Hey Ben,
> Could you tell us how the Parser/Stripper works? 
> I tried extending the Stripper class, I can only pick up End Paragraphs when there's a drastic difference in space.
> Maybe that'll help all of us out. Thanks.

> I concur with Croky's request. For my usage it is vital that
> I can somehow detect paragraphs. Preserving the white lines
> would allow this.
