    Description

      I'm using the PDFTextStripperByArea to be specific and trying to extract a particular area from the document. 

      In the output most the numbers (all but one) have their decimal point replaced by a white space. When I copy and paste the text using Abobe reader/chrome the decimal point are preserved.
