Description
When default values were added for averageCharTolerance and spacingTolerance as a part of TIKA-3091, their values appear to have been inadvertently swapped.
From PDFBox:
private float spacingTolerance = .5f;
private float averageCharTolerance = .3f;
From tika 1.24.1:
//The character width-based tolerance value used to estimate where spaces in text should be added
//Default taken from PDFBox.
private Float averageCharTolerance = 0.5f;
//The space width-based tolerance value used to estimate where spaces in text should be added
//Default taken from PDFBox.
private Float spacingTolerance = 0.3f;
This effective change in defaults has caused PDFParser to start adding more spaces than it did in 1.24 and earlier.
