Swati Agarwal updated PDFBOX-27:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: TextStripper.patch

Hi 

I have added the functionality for extracting text from a certain page at certain line of a PDF file.
I have added a new method "getTextTillLine" to 'org.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper.java' which takes two parameters - A 'PDDocument' object and a 'String' which is specified by the user. 
The function parses the Pdf and gets the text from the PDF until the String appears in the document. 
Also it searches for the string in the page numbers specified. If not then the whole document is searched.

Thanks
Swati
