----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, no offense, but as an european I have to admit that everything is
looking the same for me ;-)
Can you please help me to understand the problem in detail, so that I might
find out where to look.
For example:
the word "سلام" is extracted as "سالم"
What is wrong here? Is the correct word a ligature? Are the characters simply
the wrong ones? If so, why are they wrong (wrong character, wrong language)?
What about the other issues, are they similar?

> Hi
> I am very new to PDFBox and I am dealing with Persian PDF files. When I
> convert Persian PDF files using PDFBox-app, some Persian glyphs like م are
> displayed wrongly in the extracted text. For example, the word "هستم" in
> Persian is extracted as "هستن" and "من" in Persian is extracted as "هن".
> Also, the word "سلام" is extracted as "سالم". By the way, I have tested
> extracting text from a complete Persian PDF file with multiple pages; the
> result is disappointing. Actually, it is totally wrong. Please let me know if
> I should upload an example Persian PDF file.
