    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-448?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14167543#comment-14167543 ] 

John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-448:
------------------------------------

I can confirm that the text is still extracted incorrectly with 2.0.

> The paper that is attached to PDFBOX-80 has two columns of text, but the extracted text is not separated by column.  Instead it combines the text in each column on each line. 
> PDFTextStripper has a notion of columns and "articles / beads", but they are not being used with this file.
