New line

[mefiu]

While parsing tabular data a new line is invoked every time this condition is met:
if ( textYPosition > previousTextYPosition )

Now this is too sensitive if a row of a table contains two different font sizes.
It doesn't have to be a huge difference in font size.
One point in a font size is enough for the existing function
getNumberOfNewLinesFromPreviousTextPosition()
to call for a new line, which of course results in a bad text output.

I've modified this function to have simple threshold, while checking for new line:
if ( textYPosition - previousTextYPosition > newLineHeightThreshold )
and now it works just perfect.

BTW: great job Jonathan with this little class :)

Thank you a lot for reporting that and I appreciate that you like this class.
I am going to see what I can do. The difficulty is about finding the good threshold. Maybe I could add an optional parameter to the PDFLayoutTextStripper constructor to let the user define such a threshold.
