What it's really doing is trying to insert a single new line whenever one or more can be detected in the PDF (as defined by an amount of white space greater than the line spacing). I think this would fall under the category "raw" mode. I chose the name because the intended use case of identifying vertical white space in the PDF is to translate that white space into the raw text generated. Usually this results in a separation of paragraphs that are also separated by vertical white space in the PDF. The actual need is an attempt to output raw text with respect to the PDF as faithfully as possible. It's quite nice to get raw text that has line breaks wherever they were found in the PDF.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
