extracted text does not match text of pdf

[pblesi]

reader.pages.at(3).text produces this output:

• FAX/Scanner/Copiers • 2 Digital Cameras • 1 Cisco Router • Hub

however text contained when pdf is rendered is:

4 FAX/Scanner/Copiers 2 Digital Cameras 1 Cisco Router 1 Hub

As you can see the numbers for 2 of the elements in the list are missing.

It appears I cannot include the pdf file, but the raw content for this page is:

Did you find a solution for this? I believe I'm facing a similar issue.

I suspect this is an issue with our text layout algorithms in the PageLayout class.

Unfortunately I'm short on time at the moment, but I'll happily accept patches if you want to investigate further,
