Please forgive the laziness inherent in this question, as I haven't looked through the PDFBox code yet. I am wondering if that code supports extracting text from PDF files while preserving such things as sequences of whitespace between characters and other layout and formatting information. I am working with a project that extracts and operates on certain table-like blocks of text from PDF files, and a lot of freeware and shareware PDF to text converters seem to either ignore formatting or try to preserve formatting and not get it quite right.
Even pdftohtml? The sample outputs I've seen from that application don't look too bad to me.
