Arun Rangarajan commented on PDFBOX-448:
----------------------------------------

Thanks for the pdfbox project.

I have attached a PDF on which the left and the right column contents are merged. I am using pdfbox ver. 1.2.0 and using the command line to extract text

java org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText

> 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.
