Saurabh Mehrotra commented on PDFBOX-860:
-----------------------------------------
Hi
It will not be possible to attach a sample pdf file. I will try to create a PDF
file with those characters and upload the results.
However an useful finding which might help you is that the output is fine when
using 0.8.0 version of the PDF box but when we use the 1.2.1 version the
chracters 'fi' get converted to '?'
I will check if ligature characters are used in the PDF files.
Thanks & Regards
Saurabh
