2018-01-04 12:40:05 Tubin Shaji description Hi there, We are using 'pdf2txt' command in our scripts to convert some pdf files to text and trying to read some data from the output. The command gives expected output in Ubuntu 14.04. But in Ubuntu 16.04, with the same input pdf file, we are getting a different output. Is it a known issue? If so, how can we solve this? If not, Can you suggest another tool or method to use for my requirement? Please check the attached.

We found the issue is with Parsing sequence of table. In Ubuntu 14.04 it is vertical and in Ubuntu 16.04 is horizontal. Is it a known issue? If so, how can we solve this? If not, Can you suggest another tool or method that can be used. Regards, Tubin Shaji
