When I extract the text from a pdf, I get 4 multiple values. I think the report has been created from an access database. Here is the Sample of the output. Thanks
174.96,701.88,#000000,10.98,"XTSEBN+TimesNewRoman,Bold","ABC San Jose, CA" 174.96,688.8,#000000,8.99,"XTSEBN+TimesNewRoman,Bold","1514 Moffett St. Suite" 174.96,678.12,#000000,8.99,"XTSEBN+TimesNewRoman,Bold","San Jose, CA 93905" 68.52,587.76,#000000,11.98,"XTSEBN+TimesNewRoman,Bold","ABCD Company" 111.48,524.28,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","(408) 123-4567" 111.24,524.04,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","(408) 123-4567" 111.48,524.04,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","(408) 123-4567" 111.24,524.28,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","(408) 123-4567" 68.52,555.72,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","123 S. 1st Street" 68.52,540,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","Gilroy, CA 93930" 69.48,571.92,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","Jose Rodriguez" 69.24,571.68,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","Jose Rodriguez" 69.48,571.68,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","Jose Rodriguez" 69.24,571.92,#000000,11.98,"UGLJTT+TimesNewRoman","Jose Rodriguez"

Don't take this the wrong way, but:
What are you trying to ask? You have no question in your post.

Some PDF libraries draw overlapping text objects a few pixels apart to simulate BOLD font drawing using the a normal font. Looking at the coordinates in your file this is exactly what is happening.So technically there are four different text strings in the PDF which QPL is extracting correctly.
Notice the very minor offsets in the x,y positions for the repeated text.

I apologize,
I copied the question from a word document and I guess I left out the question part.
My question was, Are there any useful functions for dealing with repetitive
values? Thanks
