Thanks so far. I will have a closer look at the PDF.
I tried the enableautospace setting with pdfbox1.6 - did not work:
PDFParser parser = new PDFParser();
parser.setEnableAutoSpace(false);
ContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler();
Output:
Va ri an te Creutz feldt-
Ja kob-Krank heit
Stel lung nah men des Ar beits krei ses Blut
Our suggest component and parts of our search is getting hard to use by
this. Any other ideas?
Best
