description:

Fixed the bug that when parsing PDF, when the PDF content is converted from PPT to a file, the layout of the content is found to be reversed. As shown in the picture below, if calculated from the lower right corner of bbox, rectangle A should be ranked behind B, but if the rectangle has text, the text of rectangle A should be read first in front of rectangle B, so I think Maybe using the upper left corner of the rectangle as the basis for bbox sorting will be more suitable for most people's reading habits.

So I think when switching the coordinate system, (x0, y0) should be kept as the upper left corner point of the rectangle

PyMyPdf uses a top-left coordinate system while the rest of our code uses bottom-left. As a result we need to swap these for everything to work. Do you have an example PDF?
