Szemere commented on PDFBOX-586:
--------------------------------
I too have noticed some regression in text extraction since 0.7.3 (compared to
rev886875 from 1 Dec 2009). I used that to read some newer PDFs but certain
older PDFs no longer extract text.
A specific failing example (which I'm not able to share for comercial reasons),
had the following characteristics:
Generated by: PDFlib+PDI 7.0.1p1 (.NET/Win32)
Format: PDF-1.6
Papersize: US Letter, Landscape (279 x 216 mm)
> Text Extraction Regression ?

> Hi,
> I have noticed that I can extract text some PDF files in PDFBox 0.7.3 but for
> the same file, the same page, PDFBox 0.8.0 doesn't retreive any text.
> The text is in english (ascii char). I have around 40% of my pdf file with
> this problem.
> Am I the only only one who think there is a regression in text extraction ?
