Hi Martijn,
The problem does not occur only with the characters "fi", but also with the
combination "fl"
I can assure you that this is NOT a coding error in the text,
because you can see the same result in the .txt file of the first ZIP attached,
which I wrote on my system from java in utf8 format.
It is most likely due to the fact that I don't have in my classpath the ICU4J
dependency (Of which i'm sure).
>From the detail page of dependencies PDFBox
http://pdfbox.apache.org/dependencies.html
I had understood that it was an optional dependency.
In addition, in many other documents this behavior does not occur.
However I will try to include this dependency and re-run my tests of extraction.
