Description

I'm using PDFTextStripperByArea, this code makes it die:

stripper.extractRegions(page);

Assuming, the language is Chinese or Japanese, that's the error:

SEVERE: Can't determine the width of the space character, assuming 250

Should I use something else instead of PDFTextStripperByArea?

Let me know if more information needed. I attached the PDF file.output.pdf

To reproduce use the attached  above output.pdf and the standard PDFBox app:
