pdf_data(): column space is not documented

Open petermeissner opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I noticed that there is no information on what column space actually means when using pdf_data().

The only reference I found so far is that its meaning might be unclear: https://discuss.ropensci.org/t/pdftools-2-0-powerful-pdf-text-extraction-tools/1520/4

I (currently) think, it actually means that in the pdf the word was followed by a space - which now has been stripped away.
