Exclude text from invisible layouts

Hi all,

I've asked this on tika mailing list and I was told to ask to PDFBox team:

I'm extracting text from PDF files using my own sax handler. The problem is that I get both visible and invisible text, i.e. text contained in invisible parts of the layout.
How can I identify the invisible parts?

I've asked to stack overflow as well:

Thanks a lot for your help!
