>         Environment: Windows 7 Professional x64, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

> When Tika extracts text from a PDF file, *rotated texts are extracted in a way that words are broken.* Apparently the number of lines of a rotated paragraph seems to be the number of characters after which Tika breaks the words apart with a line feed (0x0a) character.
> Steps to reproduce this issue (in this example, on a Windows machine):
> * Download the following pdf file: [http://www.verbraucherzentrale-rlp.de/mediabig/115471A.pdf], e.g. to C:\temp\
> * Open a console window and run tika with: {{java -jar tika-app.jar -t "file:///c:/temp/energieberatung.pdf" > test.txt}}
> * Have a look at the text file, e.g. with a hex editor and note the words broken in 2-character-pieces: {{<char1><char2><LF>}}
> *This problems seems to be introduced with Tika 0.10, it still exists with Tika 1.0.*
