Doubt Extracting text by area

[Marcelo Godois Tavares <MG...@hexatek.com>]

Hi all,

 

I have a doubt using the ExtractTextByArea class from de PDFBox. Im
changing the rectangle values to see the result. But I think it doesn't
respect the horizontal coordinates, or I'm not using it in the correct
way (the most probably :-).

 

I change the Y coordinates of the rectangle like Y and Height, ant it
seems to work very well. But if I change the X coordinates like X and
weight, I get strange results. In other words, is it possible to extract
a specific word or phrase in a PDF document?

 

I have tried different documents.

(sorry my English :)
