--------------------------------------
Hi Saurabh
Looks like you make use of ligature characters, like unicode character FB01
(LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI).
I'm just guessing:
1. PDFBox does not support this, or
2. Your output does not support this character (no mapping in the used
character encoding, or no glyph in the used font).
> 'fi' getting converted to '?'

> Hi
> I am trying to use PDF box 1.2.1 version to extract text from PDF files.
> The following issue is observed in the extracted text:
> 1. Combination of the characters 'fi' is converted to a '?'
> example: first becomes ?rst
> classifier becomes classi?er
> find becomes ?nd
> Is this a known bug? Can some setting of the PDF box be turned of to prevent
> this?
> Thanks & Regards
