Bernard commented on PDFBOX-586:
--------------------------------
Thanks, I'll check cmap files...
I have successfuly complied PDFBox on Linux terminal. removed a lot of useless
stuff. All PDF open OK.
I used the same code on an Android project. And I had to remove more code :-)
AWT , awt.geom, Fonts ... and some other API.
It compiles OK, but don't extract anytrhing. Some PDF cause Exception.
I now have to check all Input files (as they are inside the .apk 'binary' they
can not be opened the same way).
Even if/when all file will load OK, I'm not sure the extract will be OK. I
removed a lot a of code (AWT)....
I had no time to make new releases of my Android app. I will go back to
previous working version (PDFBox 0.7.3) and work on both projects (my app +
PDFBox 1.1.0 port) in //

> Hi,
> I have noticed that I can extract text some PDF files in PDFBox 0.7.4 but for
> the same file, the same page, PDFBox 1.1.0 doesn't retreive any text, or the
> extraction is worst.
> Am I the only only one who think there is a regression in text extraction ?
> My code is like this :
> PDDocument document = PDDocument.load("/sdcard/internals.pdf");
> int numberOfPages = document.getNumberOfPages();
> resources = this.getResources();
>
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() resources : "+resources); //
> ANDROID code here to get file
> resourceGlyphList = R.raw.glyphlist;
> InputStream rawResource =
> resources.openRawResource(R.raw.pdftextstripper); // PDFBOX property file
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() rawResource : "+rawResource);
> Properties properties = new Properties();
> properties.load(rawResource);
>
> PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(properties );
>
> stripper.setStartPage(pageNumber ); // 1 or any other page
> stripper.setEndPage(pageNumber ); // same page as above
> String s = "Page : "+pageNumber+"<br><br>"+stripper.getText(document);
> android.util.Log.d(TEST_PDFBOX, "readerPDF() stripper extract pages text
> : "+s);
> Maybe I should use page.getContents().getStream() or
> stripper.getTextForRegion( "class1" ) or stripper.writeText(doc,
> outputStream)
> I want the text as a String, not as a newly created file....
