[jira] Created: (PDFBOX-846) TextExtraction mixes case of text
TextExtraction mixes case of text
---------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-846
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-846
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 1.2.1
Environment: Windows server, .NET
Reporter: Mark Looi
Using Text extraction on a file like this, http://www.organictogo.com/pdf/catering/Menu_WA_032509.pdf, the text (in all CAPS) "THAI VEGGIE WRAP" is extracted as:
"ThAI VeGGIe wRAP". However, examining the PDF, shows that it looks like this: "Thai V eggi e Wrap". The related text on the next lines, such as "Crisp red cabbage, cucumbers, carrots and lettuce with Thai" parse in just fine.
We are using this code to get the text in C#:
byte[] pdfData = myWebClient.DownloadData(pdfUrl);
string text = string.Empty;
ByteArrayInputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(pdfData);
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(stream);
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
text = stripper.getText(doc);
doc.close();

[jira] Resolved: (PDFBOX-846) TextExtraction mixes case of text
Posted by "Andreas Lehmkühler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-846?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andreas Lehmkühler resolved PDFBOX-846.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.3.0
I fixed the calculation of the space width in revision 1023338. The scaling of the text matrix and the ctm wasn't taken into amount before which confused the algo to calculate whether a spave has to be added or not.

First of all you should activate the sorting using this stripper.setSortByPosition(true).
I'm attaching the extracting result of the current trunk version (1003396). It looks quite good but there are still some extra spaces.
