PDFBox-删除不可见的文本（通过剪辑/填充路径问题）

Question

链接到示例PDF：单击此处。在这里您可以看到左侧的许多标签已被剪切（由于一些剪切说明）

当我使用PDFTextStripper时，它会打印示例PDF文件中实际剪切/隐藏的所有文本。我已经尝试过这里描述的解决方案，但是它使它变得非常有价值，因为它删除了顶部的许多文本，以及每行开头的一些文本。是否有其他方法可以使用PDFBox仅显示可见字符并跳过所有重叠的字符？也许还有其他工具只能返回可见文本？提前致谢。

Answer 1

为什么原因PDFVisibleTextStripper从这个答案的OP引用不工作是一个字符基线结束的计算end，已覆盖processTextPosition不采取页面旋转进去。但是，如果更改该方法，仅测试每个字符基线的开头而忽略结尾，则对于手边的文档来说效果很好：

@Override
protected void processTextPosition(TextPosition text) {
    Matrix textMatrix = text.getTextMatrix();
    Vector start = textMatrix.transform(new Vector(0, 0));

    PDGraphicsState gs = getGraphicsState();
    Area area = gs.getCurrentClippingPath();
    if (area == null || area.contains(start.getX(), start.getY()))
        super.processTextPosition(text);
}

使用此processTextPosition替代，文本提取的结果（SortByPosition设置为true）为：

乍一看，唯一缺少的可见文本是两个页面的页脚中的页面总数。

正如OP在评论中所说

似乎应该在deleteCharsInPath（）中应用相同的内容

实际上，deleteCharsInPath还应该更改为：

void deleteCharsInPath() {
    for (List<TextPosition> list : charactersByArticle) {
        List<TextPosition> toRemove = new ArrayList<>();
        for (TextPosition text : list) {
            Matrix textMatrix = text.getTextMatrix();
            Vector start = textMatrix.transform(new Vector(0, 0));
            if (linePath.contains(start.getX(), start.getY())) {
                toRemove.add(text);
            }
        }
        if (toRemove.size() != 0) {
            System.out.println("Removed " + toRemove.size() + " TextPosition objects as they are being covered.");
            list.removeAll(toRemove);
        }
    }
}

OP提出了另一份文档，其中即使PDFVisibleTextStripper上述内容也无法正确识别可见字符。

原因是通过PDFBox文本剥离将原点移动到裁切框的左下角，这又是一种归一化。

PDFVisibleTextStripper再次修补添加左下裁切框坐标值的方法会导致对可见文本的正确提取。

覆盖processPage使我们能够读取左下角​​的裁剪框坐标：

float lowerLeftX = 0;
float lowerLeftY = 0;

@Override
public void processPage(PDPage page) throws IOException {
    PDRectangle pageSize = page.getCropBox();

    lowerLeftX = pageSize.getLowerLeftX();
    lowerLeftY = pageSize.getLowerLeftY();

    super.processPage(page);
}

processTextPosition并且deleteCharsInPath需要考虑以下值：

@Override
protected void processTextPosition(TextPosition text) {
    Matrix textMatrix = text.getTextMatrix();
    Vector start = textMatrix.transform(new Vector(0, 0));

    PDGraphicsState gs = getGraphicsState();
    Area area = gs.getCurrentClippingPath();
    if (area == null || area.contains(lowerLeftX + start.getX(), lowerLeftY + start.getY()))
