Description

Applying the PDFTextStripper to the attached PDF Document, a not-existing blank character is read in the following text:

 

 

Instead of "O1AI7A" the text supplied to the writeString method callback is "O 1AI7A".

Making copy&paste from Adobe Reader doesn't introduce any blank character.
