                 Key: PDFBOX-3960
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3960
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parsing, Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 1.8.13
            Reporter: Rampradeep B

Hi,

The following code snippet should print each character from the PDF (including Space as a character). But for some PDFs return text with missing spaces between words.

public class PDFTextStripperProcessor extends PDFTextStripper {
   @Override
   public void processTextPosition( TextPosition text )  {
       System.out.println( text.getCharacter() );
   }
}


TextPosition getCharacter() is not returning space between words. Due to this, I am getting text without spaces. Please provide the solution to avoid missing spaces. 

Please find the Input PDF in the attachment. 

Thanks,
Rampradeep B
