Hi Daniel,

I've the same effect on converting flyer2.pdf and mtxFidelity.pdf from PDFBOX-51. The problem was the AffineTransform which was used to rotate the page. I've exchanged that code with version 773325 and now converting works for both documents.

> Vertical text gets splitted during extraction using PDFTextStripper.
> "Specification" gives:
> Spécif
> ic
> ations
> This is made worse when sorted by position, as it gets mixed up with the
> horizontal text:
> ic
> ations
> [CLASSIFIED INFO]
> [CLASSIFIED INFO]
> Spécif [CLASSIFIED INFO]
> [CLASSIFIED INFO]
> I'm afraid I can't provide the PDF in question due to confidentiality
> requirements. It's a PDF obtained from the conversion to PDF of a Windows
> Word document. According to the forums I'm not the only one with this
> problem.

> I have attached an admittedly very complicated PDF document which (as far
> as I can tell) features 90° and 135° rotated text in a 90° rotated page.
> Position-ordered text extraction gives horrible results. 
> Normal text extraction is also very messy, although in this second case
> the results are almost understandable. 
> This is not the document I need to treat, but i think that if text can be
> correctly extracted from that PDF, it should work for almost every other
> existing PDF.
> File Added: Flyer2.pdf
