Thomas Fischer updated PDFBOX-534:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: amapn19_03.pdf
                amapn19_03.txt

Here is another example with the extracted text looking like
a0a2a1a4a3a6a5a8a7a9a5a10a3a12a11a14a13a16a15a17a5a10a3a19a18a20a1a21a5a17a0a2a1a22a5a24a23a24...
But in this case, the file was created using ESP Ghostscript 7.05 and the text 
cannot be retrieved using either Acrobat Reader or Preview. The former produces 
text that looks like

243658799:;0<>=:
?...@9
A>A>ACBEDGF%HIJBK4D4LM>N*O4PQ/RSI
TVUXWTVUYZUX[]\^'\"acb[dbfegWTfbhjilkm\nYpo]YZ\"UXqrYsbf[t\"u]U
a[]\"UXTvw^yx{z9/|}~
Z€J‚€„ƒ>…€‡†„€„ƒˆ‰‚€

, the latter like

JJ

Either is completely unintelligible.

> I'm getting an unexpected behavior parsing a pdf file.
> I'm trying to get the clean body text of some file, and I get a lot of aXX 
> strings. Where each X is a number. It appear be the char code of the real 
> character, I don't know really.
> My code is too simple:
>           String[] args = {"/home/ernesto/tesis/documento/kvfs.pdf"};
>           ExtractText.main(args);
> I used the PDFBox 0.8.0-incubator version. Builded on 20/9/2009. 
> The output I get is:
> a73a109a112a108a101a109a101a110a116a97a110a100a111 a97a99a99a101a115a111 a97
