Trouble parsing a document

• PHP Version: 7.4
• PDFParser Version: 2.7

Description:

I'm attempting to parse a document that is primarily tables. Most of the text is a jumble with white space and newlines missing in various places.

PDF input

I would like to provide a sample PDF if there's a way for me to change the text to remove private information.

Expected output & actual output

Here's an example of one of the headers:

Expected

ITEM ID    DESCRIPTION    SERVICE PERIOD    EXTENDED PRICE    TAX    LINE TOTAL

Actual

ITEM ID DESCRIPTIONSERVICE PERIOD       EXTENDED  PRICETAXLINE TOTAL

Code

    $config = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Config();
    
    // Initialize and load PDF Parser library 
    $parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser([], $config); 

    // Parse pdf file using Parser library 
    $pdf = $parser->parseFile($Filename); 
     
    // Extract text from PDF 
    $textContent = $pdf->getText();
    
    print($textContent);

Start with the PHP example that constructs Parser and calls parseFile(), then compare getText() with the expected and actual table header shown in the issue. A sanitized sample PDF and complete PHP and PDFParser patch versions are needed to reproduce the whitespace and newline loss; done means the behavior is reproducible and its cause is identified.
