Hi,

setForceParsing is meant to try to handle PDFs which have issues e.g. malformed Xref entries.
setShouldSeperateByBeads extracts text article thread by article thread (a bead is a subsection of an article). If you PDF has article information (which you can see in Adobe Reader or Acrobat) this keeps text belonging to the same article together.
