-------------------------------------------
First of all, please don't use already closed issues!!
Try to use a proper encoding. Have a look at org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText for
further details. If the issue still exists, file a new issue on JIRA and attach
the pdf in question.
> Corruption of Arabic output due to Japanese bug fix

> Key: PDFBOX-679
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-679
> Project: PDFBox

> The recent Japanese bug fix in org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont
> defines a set of encoding names that are given special CJK treatment. This
> set is too broad. For example, it stipulates that the 'Identity-H' encoding
> should be processed as JIS.
> We have Arabic PDFs where compound Arabic glyphs use the 'Identity-H'
> encoding. In pdfBox 1.0.0 they used to output Arabic but now they output
> garbage, because the Arabic unicode data is sent to the CJK converter.
