Parsing pdf by complete line in Java

Hi

I have a requirement to parse a pdf line by line irrespective of the
presence of columns. getText(PDDocument) copies the complete text as we copy
using cntrl+C and cntrl+V. So in the case of parsing an invoice/receipt
which has values like total 231, total will be parsed as one line and 231
parsed after several lines. The contents in the same column as 231 will be
parsed after total, so there is no way for me to retrieve the total as 231.
Any help would be of use.
