Support kindly responded with the following.  Using (3,1) helped me in the majority of cases:

"I also find that using all three options works prettywell.

 

 SetTextExtractionOptions(1,1);

 SetTextExtractionOptions(2,1);

 SetTextExtractionOptions(3,1);

 

You may option 6 might improve the results slightly also.

 

 SetTextExtractionOptions(6,1);

"

Hi,

Has anyone managed to use SetTextExtractionOptions?

In my scenario I'm trying to extract text from a PDF which has "small caps" font effect. e.g.
EXTRACT ME 
which is being extracted as
E XTRACT M E

By default QuickPdf Library seems to use changes in font style / size as a cue for word boundary detection, a feature I was hoping I could disable by setting:

int setSuccess = _pdfLibrary.SetTextExtractionOptions(1, 1);             //(returning 1, so being set)
string pageText = _pdfLibrary.GetPageText(4);

OptionId 1 = Use Font information matching when grouping to separate text blocks
and
1 = Ignore



Any suggestions or help much appreciated!

Steve
