[jira] Created: (TIKA-494) Wrong text extract from vertical
textboxes in pdf files
Wrong text extract from vertical textboxes in pdf files
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-494
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-494
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 0.7
Environment: Win 7, VS 2010 C#
Reporter: Sandor Dj
Priority: Critical
Vertical textboxes in pdf files are not extracted correctly (using the tika library in c#).
For example if there is a textbox vertical "hello" in a pdf file (!WITHOUT! line breaks):
H
E
L
L
O
the parser returns 5 strings, each with a single letter, even there is NO line break after every letter.
Is there a option to avoid this problem?

----------------------------------
Hi Sandor,
There isn't much Tika can do here, as it's an issue with the PDFBox parser that Tika uses. Please file this issue with them (checking for any existing issue, of course) and close this one. See http://pdfbox.apache.org/
Thanks,
-- Ken
