-------------------------------------
Thank you!
> PDF supplies glyph->unicode mapping, but PDFBox doesn't use it.

> Key: PDFBOX-1127
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1127
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Environment: Tested trunk r1177011
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Fix For: 1.7.0

> Attachments: PDFBOX1127-ebrat.txt, ebrat.pdf, encoding.jpg

> We had a user report this PDF to the lucene lists:
> http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/7a8c14a534d9a84c/tika_can_not_parse_all_of_the_persian_pdf_files
> I asked them to create a TIKA issue (TIKA-713) and attach the PDF file
> Upon inspection, the fonts used in the PDF have custom encodings (that map
> the characters to U+0001, U+0002, ...), however they contain a mapping for
> the font to unicode
> >>/Type/Encoding/BaseEncoding/WinAnsiEncoding/Differences, but PDFbox doesnt
> use this mapping. If you use ExtractText it extracts the raw control
> characters instead.
