Hello, I am using iText to parse text from PDF files. I found that some text are returned but are not visible. For example, I got * “financial derivative” , which does exist on the page * “FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE” which is visible, but still returned by iText. In addition, they are not selectable by Adobe acrobat or Foxit. Does iText has a way to differentiate visible/invisible text? Or does the PDF format has any specification relating to this?
