I am trying to read a PDF file and store the text in a text file. But while doing this I also want to store font info simultaneously. I am aware of PDFbox for text stropping and fontbox for fonts can they be combined?

You could be the one to work on a solution where they could be. – OmniOwl May 20 '12 at 15:50

if by 'text file' you mean a `.txt` file, note that a 'plain text' file does not support font information (unless the user wants to read - but not see - the font names that originally were in the PDF). – Andrew Thompson May 20 '12 at 21:03

BTW - what is 'fontbox' (link please) and what does 'stropping' mean? – Andrew Thompson May 20 '12 at 21:55
