Hi,
First I have to say how impressed I am with this toolkit and the fantastic help and support that comes with it. I'm sure there is a quick answer to this and it's probably come up a number of times.
I'm extracting text from a PDF that was generated by printing a word document in CutePDF (my application of this is specific to PDFs that have been created this way).
I'm using the following code to extract the text with co-ordinates etc:-
strText = strText + QP.ExtractFilePageText(strInputFilePath, "", nPage, 3);
This on the whole works well but in some cases it is including a piece of text that is actually made up of a number of separate pieces of text that are in separate cells in the same row in a table in the original Word document and the PDF generated from it. The cells have borders so it seems sensible that the text in each cell would be detected separately but I suspect that the text extraction function is simply looking for text and isn't adjusting for lines between text.
I should note that this is intermittent as you will see in this example. I suspect it's something to do with the proximity of the text in the next cell that varies depending on the length of the word.
