> 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:

> 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

> Thanks & Regards
