We tested using following code snippet and found that line break was present after each character in the PDF:

Document pdfDoc = new Document(dataDir + "aspseTestfile.pdf");
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
// Accept the absorber for first page of document
pdfDoc.getPages().accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
// Get the extracted text fragments into collection
TextFragmentCollection textFragmentCollection = textFragmentAbsorber.getTextFragments();
//Loop through the Text fragments
for(TextFragment textFragment : (Iterable<TextFragment>)textFragmentCollection){ // Iterate through text segments
   System.out.println(textFragment.getText());
}

Output

甲
方
：
（
签
章
）

Therefore, we tried using following regular expression to extract text but did not get success;

Document pdfDoc = new Document(dataDir + "aspseTestfile.pdf");
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber("甲\\s*" +
                "方\\s*" +
                "：\\s*" +
                "（\\s*" +
                "签\\s*" +
                "章\\s*" +
                "）\\b");
TextSearchOptions textSearchOptions = textFragmentAbsorber.getTextSearchOptions();
textSearchOptions.setRegularExpressionUsed(true);
// Accept the absorber for first page of document
pdfDoc.getPages().accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
// Get the extracted text fragments into collection
TextFragmentCollection textFragmentCollection = textFragmentAbsorber.getTextFragments();
//Loop through the Text fragments
for(TextFragment textFragment : (Iterable<TextFragment>)textFragmentCollection){ // Iterate through text segments
   System.out.println(textFragment.getText());
}

We have investigated the logged ticket and found that extra invisible character placed only once. Text can be find with any of the following regex:

TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber("甲方：\\s?（签章）");
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber("甲方：\\s*（签章）");
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber(
                "甲\\s?" +
                "方\\s?" +
                "：\\s?" +
                "（\\s?" +
                "签\\s?" +
                "章\\s?" +
                "）\\s?");
