Description

Dear Apache contributors,

I am a  user of pdfbox mainly for the purpose of text extraction. The word ordering is not correct for some cases and the line detection may fail too.

Attachments:

• 1st page: the first letter D is not written before "uis sit amet..." but at the end of the page ;
• 2nd page: the sentence "scolaire ferry" is just before "réouverture du musée" which is wrong because it's not on the same column ;

To manage these cases would be more than welcome  A.
