pypdf2 reads the hifenated words in a new line

[srivignes]

While parsing a pdf file using pypdf2, it reads the hifenated words like mm-dd-yy in a newline as :

mm
## 

dd
## 

yy

This is my code:

import PyPDF2 

def get_text(path):
    pdf = PyPDF2.PdfReader(file(path, "rb"))  
    content = ""
    content += pdf.pages[0].extract_text() + "\n"  
    return content

How can I overcome this and print them in the same line ?

Do you have an example pdf that shows the issue?

@srivignes I cannot reproduce this issue with the latest version of PyPDF2. I guess that it was either fixed by #924 or even before.

I'll release PyPDF2==2.1.0 today. Please ping me if it (didn't) solve the issue. As I have no way of checking, I close it for the moment assuming it was fixed.
