             Summary: wordSeparator not being inserted when line ends with " "
                 Key: PDFBOX-4760
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4760
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 2.0.18
            Reporter: John Gesimondo


If you set the wordSeparator to something other than space (like "\t") for instance, but the word happens to end with " ", it won't add the designated wordSeparator.

That's because in the LOC that adds the word separator it is hard coded that if the line ends with " ", the word separator should be skipped. This is not proper because it assumes you are using " " word separator, but this is a configurable option.

fix: change {{.endsWith(" ")}} to {{.endsWith(wordSeparator)}}
