    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-588?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12976625#action_12976625 ] 

Hesham commented on PDFBOX-588:
-------------------------------

I have tested this with PDFBox v1.4. It is getting worse(More wrong results), examples :

- The line "to alert John Hancock and Samuel Adams that" is read as : "toalertJohnHancockandSamuelAdamsthat".

- The line "the Regulars are coming out" is read as "theRegularsarecomingout"

- The line "the two were to be arrested" is read as "thetwoweretobearrested"

> Hello ,
>  
> I have a PDF file with 1 page only, when I try to extract its text using :
> String pageData = stripper.getText( pdfFile );
> It ignores some Enter characters between lines, so the last word in the line and the first word in the next line appear as 1 word without spaces between them !!
> While if I copy the PDF text manually from the PDF and paste it in a text editor, Enter characters appear after the same lines that caused the problem in PDFBox.
> Please check the attached file as a sample.
>  
> Is there a way to fix this ?
>  
> Best regards ,
