Mixed text from Columns

[wackerm]

If there are text columns in the pdf, the text via getText() is mangled together.

For e.g:

Column	Column
This is Column	This is Column
one, and there is	two and there is
even more text	not more text

gets transformed to

This ist Column This is Column
one, and there is two and there is
even more text not more text

Maybe this could be targeted by using some special chars like tab "\t"?

This is fixed with #505
You can now do this:

$config = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Config();
$config->setHorizontalOffset("\t");

$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser([], $config);
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('path/to/file');
$text = $pdf->getText();
