I am using CAM::PDF to read a PDF file. I'm finding that occasionally (not randomly as it happens at the same time every time) a space is inserted in the retrieved line.
I condensed the code down to a simple program to just read each PDF page and then write it to a file:
my $pdf = CAM::PDF->new($in_file);
my $page1 = $pdf->getPageText(2); # read the PDF page into a variable
print PAGEFILE $page1;
The PDF shows:
Compatibility GROUP 7994, VERSION 12 UPDATED MAY 9, 2014 12:36:17
When read through CAM::PDF, it has:
Compatibility GROUP 7994, VERSION 12 UP DATED MAY 9, 2014 12:36:17
A space is inserted in the word UPDATED. It does this several other times. I switched to extracting from the single page variable by line but it does the same thing
Perl 5, Version 20, subversion 1, built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int
CAM::PDF 1.60
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
