[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4904) Bold text leads to wrong order - Text extraction

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4904?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17149209#comment-17149209 ]

-----------------------------------------

Now I feel stupid, thanks :D

Can we add a hint to stripper.getText() or the constructor doc? That'd be helpful.

> When extracting the text from a PDF bold text seems to be out of order under some conditions.

> See section w) - the text should be:
> _*Präqualifizierte Unternehmen* führen den Nachweis der Eignung durch den Eintrag in_
>  _die Liste des Vereins für die Präqualifikation von Bauunternehmen e.V._
>  _(Präqualifikationsverzeichnis). ..._
> But it actually is:
>  _führen den Nachweis der Eignung durch den Eintrag in *Präqualifizierte Unternehmen*_
>  _die Liste des Vereins für die Präqualifikation von Bauunternehmen e.V._
>  _(Präqualifikationsverzeichnis)._

> I attached an example PDF.

> /edit: pdfjs and Acrobat can copy/paste the text in order.
