[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-2232) Is there difference between character \n and character space(32) in pdf stream

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2232?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14074944#comment-14074944 ] 

John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2232:
-------------------------------------

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.
