PDFBox's extracted text is not quite the same as copying to the clipboard from Acrobat. Using Acrobat's "Save As Other..." and selecting plain text is what you want to compare.

> when extract text from pdf files with PDFTextStripper, I get a space(32) at each end of paragraph or  cells in a table, while in the text copyed from Adobe reader, the end character is \n, I wonder whether pdfbox convert character \n to space(32),I checked function processEncodedText in PDFStreamEngine and get no usefull information.
