Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3805:
-----------------------------------------
I know that PDFBOX-1807 is not solving the issue. I mentioned it to explain the
problem that there is no clear solution about what to do with tabs.
Workarounds could be to swallow the tabs, or to replace them with something.
This should be done in pre-processing. For example, replacing the tabs with a
space would be like this:
{code}
InputStream is = ....
OutputStream os = ....
int by;
while ((by = is.read()) != -1)
{
if (by == 9)
os.write(32);
else
os.write(by);
}
is.close();
os.close();
{code}
