Ali Majdzadeh Kohbanani commented on PDFBOX-1424:
-------------------------------------------------
Andreas, thanks a lot for your consideration. I checked the file, the issue
related to the ligature is fixed, but there exist misused glyphs in the output
file. I have searched a lot about this issue and found that PDF files created
with dompdf library (code.google.com/p/dompdf/) are very well extracted by
PDFBox. These files even do not face the ligature problem and also the misused
glyphs. Please let me know if I should provide more detail information on this.

> 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.
