            Description


            A user has posted a test file that has content stream containing text that is layed out in a non contiguous fashion. When text selection is used to extract text the order is that of the content stream and not that of what the users sees on the screen. Interestingly enough Acrobat has a similar problem.

            A future enhancement for use would be to sort the PageText LineText children based on the bounding box's y coordinate.
