Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-957:
-------------------------------------------
I'm afraid one can't extract the text from the given pdfs. Both are using fonts
with a non human readable encoding and as there isn't included any mapping,
you'll get rubbish instead of the text. Even the acrobat reader can't extract
the text.
> Text extraction using ExtractText (pdf file is input file) generates some
> weired characters
