Jukka Zitting commented on PDFBOX-800:
--------------------------------------

Setting the sortByPosition option on the PDFTextStripper should make the "Hallo das ist ein vertikales TEXTFELD" box get correctly extracted.

> I was told to move this issue to the pdfbox parser, so I hope this is the right section.
> Vertical textboxes in pdf files are not extracted correctly (using the tika library in C#).
> For example if there is a vertical textbox "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?
