What do you thinkpdfStripper.getText(document);means? What spesific text are you looking for? Can you provide examples on what you are getting, and examples on what you want?

Isn't it obvious that you have to somehow "parse" the text string you already got bygetTextthen?

Please edit your question to clarify what "specific text" means. An area? A table element? A page? Text with specific font? Text in specific language?
