Editing a page with columns

Hello,
I’m trying to replace some text in a PDF document, in this case, a page with its text divided in two columns.

After replacing the old text, the formatting is messed up and the columns are gone.

Is there a way to edit text while keeping the same column format ?

Here is the code I use :
public static void modif(Document doc, String search, String replace) {
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber(search);
doc.getPages().accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
for (TextFragment textFragment : (Iterable) textFragmentAbsorber.getTextFragments()) {
textFragment.setText(replace);
TextFragmentState state = textFragment.getTextState();
textFragment.getTextState().setFont(state.getFont());
textFragment.getTextState().setFontSize(state.getFontSize());
textFragment.getTextState().setForegroundColor(state.getForegroundColor());
textFragment.getTextState().setBackgroundColor(Color.getWhite());
textFragmentAbsorber.getTextReplaceOptions().setReplaceAdjustmentAction(TextReplaceOptions.ReplaceAdjustment.WholeWordsHyphenation);
}
}
“search” is the string I want to replace and “replace” is its replacement.

I’m trying to replace “Majencia SA” with “Nowy Styl - Majencia”

Thank you for your help
