    Description

      I have an example PDF with 90 degree rotation; Tika produces the
      characters one line at a time. Ie, the doc has "Some rotated text,
      here!" but Tika produces this:

      <body><div class="page"><p>So
m
e
 
r
o
t
a
t
e
d
 
t
e
x
t
,
 
h
e
r
e
!</p>

      I'm able to copy/paste the text out correctly.
