parser.getTokens() gives out junk data and singlecharacters PDFBox-1.8.9 version - pdf

Question

I am new to pdfbox. I am using pdfbox-app-2.0.0-RC1 version to fetch the entire text from the pdf using PDFTextStripperByArea. Is it possible for me to get each string separately?
For Example,
In the following text,
Nomination : Name&Address
Shipper : shipper name
I need Nomination as seperate string and "Name&Address" as separate string. Instead I am getting each character separately. I have tried with different Pdfs. For most pdfs I am able to get the exact string but for few pdfs I don't.
I am using the following code to get the separate string.
for (PDPage page : doc.getPages()) {
PDFStreamParser parser = new PDFStreamParser(page);
parser.parse();
List<Object> tokens = parser.getTokens();
for (int j = 0; j < tokens.size(); j++) {
Object next = tokens.get(j);
if (next instanceof Operator) {
Operator op = (Operator) next;
if (op.getName().equals("Tj")) {
COSString previous = (COSString) tokens.get(j - 1);
String string = previous.getString();
System.out.println("string1===" + string);
if (string.contains("Plant")) {
int size = al.size();
al.add(string);
stop = false;
continue;
}
if (!string.contains("_") && !stop) {
if (string.contains("Nomination")) {
stop = true;
} else {
al.add(string);
}
}
} else if (op.getName().equals("TJ")) {
COSArray previous = (COSArray) tokens.get(j - 1);
for (int k = 0; k < previous.size(); k++) {
Object arrElement = previous.getObject(k);
if (arrElement instanceof COSString) {
COSString cosString = (COSString)arrElement;
String string = cosString.getString();
System.out.println("string2====>>"+string);
al.add(string);
}
}
}
}
}
}
I am getting the following output:
string2====>>Nom
string2====>>i
string2====>>na
string2====>>t
string2====>>i
string2====>>on
string1===
string2====>>(
string2====>>T
string2====>>o
string1===
string2====>>Loa
string2====>>di
string2====>>ng
string1===
string2====>>Fa
string2====>>c
string2====>>i
string2====>>l
string2====>>i
string2====>>t
string2====>>y
string2====>>)
