    Resolution: Won't Fix

I guess this ticket is no longer relevant.

There is an android port of PDFBox

> Hi,
> I have noticed that I can extract text some PDF files in PDFBox 0.7.4 but for 
> the same file, the same page, PDFBox 1.1.0 doesn't retreive any text, or the 
> extraction is worst.
> Am I the only only one who think there is a regression in text extraction ?
> My code is like this :
> {code}
>    PDDocument document = PDDocument.load("/sdcard/internals.pdf"); 
>     int numberOfPages = document.getNumberOfPages();
>     resources = this.getResources();
>   
>   android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() resources : "+resources);  // 
> ANDROID code here to get file
>    resourceGlyphList = R.raw.glyphlist;
>    InputStream rawResource = 
> resources.openRawResource(R.raw.pdftextstripper);   // PDFBOX property file
>    android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() rawResource : "+rawResource);
>    Properties properties = new Properties();
>     properties.load(rawResource);
>               
>    PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(properties );
>               
>   stripper.setStartPage(pageNumber );    //   1 or any other page
>   stripper.setEndPage(pageNumber );   // same page as above
>    String s = "Page : "+pageNumber+"<br><br>"+stripper.getText(document);
>    android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF()  stripper extract pages text 
> : "+s);
> {code}
> Maybe I should use page.getContents().getStream()   or 
> stripper.getTextForRegion( "class1" )  or      stripper.writeText(doc, 
> outputStream)
> I want the text as a String, not as a newly created file....
