Does not recognize dashes(lines)

Describe the bug (mandatory)

I have this test.pdf and I want to extract the text from it, but I need the dashes (lines) after each subtext to appear so that I can separate these texts, is there any way to do this?

Thanks for the library, it works very well.

Sorry for my English, I still don't have a good fluency in the language

Thanks for the appreciation!

But what is the bug?

[ghost]

It really doesn't have a bug, but I can't create another type of issue (bug or feature), I just want to know if there's a solution for my case.

[JorjMcKie]

Ah, ok. You should have created a "Discussions" item. I will convert this then.

[JorjMcKie]

You mean the line after each "DECRETO"?

[ghost]

No, this marked lines:

In the extraction these lines are just ignored, I didn't see any way to be able to transform this to some character

[JorjMcKie]

Yes, that is what I was referring to!
These are drawings. They will not be contained in any page.get_text().
Method page.get_drawings() extracts them - together with other drawing items like rectangles, curves and so on.
You could select these items like this:

>>> doc=fitz.open("test.pdf")
>>> page=doc[0]
>>> paths=page.get_drawings()  # get all drawing items
>>> limit=page.rect.width/2  # only select shorter items
>>> height = 2  # only select lower items
>>> for p in paths:
	if p["rect"].height <= 2 and p["rect"].width < limit:
		page.draw_rect(p["rect"], color=(1,0,0))

Thank you very much, it helped me a lot, I didn't know this method, I should have suspected that it wouldn't be in this get_text.
