             Summary: void writeString(String text, List<TextPosition> textPositions) is not called per line
                 Key: PDFBOX-3749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3749
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4
         Environment: Windows 10 64-bit
            Reporter: Harun Reşit Zafer
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: contract_00105_SEDAR.pdf

We overwrote the {{void writeString(String text, List<TextPosition> textPositions)}} method of the {{PDFTextStripper}} to extract additional position and style information from the PDFs. We thought this method would be called per line and the elements of the parameter {{List<TextPosition> textPositions }} would be all the letters, including the spaces in a line. 

This is indeed the case for thousands of the documents. However, one particular document, this is not the case and the {{textPositions}} contains just the letters of a word and {{writeString}} is called per word. 

I am not sure if this would be counted as a bug because the final extracted text is not affected. 

The problematic PDF is attached.
