Please have a look at the ExtractTextByArea.java example in the source 
code download, this will allow you to extract from a predefined area.

There is no way in PDF to "exclude tables" because there is no table 
concept in PDF like in HTML. It's just a bunch of lines with text. You 
would need heuristics to guess what's a table and what isn't.

Re order, use the setSortByPosition() method.

If you want exact positions of everything, have a look at the 
PrintTextLocations.java example.
