Ali Majdzadeh Kohbanani commented on PDFBOX-1424:
-------------------------------------------------
I performed the test. Here are the results:
And yes, the results were the same. Well, there exist errors in both PDFBox
extracted text and adobe-test extracted text which I don't know whether it is
possible to resolve them in PDFBox or not, but I will list them here:
1) Only the first line is extracted correctly.
2) The second line has two errors. The word "من" which means "I" in English is
extracted as "هي" which has no meaning in Persian. Also, the word "هستم" which
means "am" in English is extracted as "هستن" which means "being" in English.
3) The third line has one error. The word "شما" which means "you" in English is
extracted as "شوا" which has no meaning in Persian.
4) The fourth line has two errors. First of all, the word "ایران" which means
"Iran" in English is extracted as "ایرای" which has no meaning in Persian.
Also, the word "سرزمینی" which means "land" in English" is extracted as "سرزهي
یٌ" which has no meaning in Persian, actually it is not a Persian word.
5) The last line has multiple errors. The sentence "ما در ایران زندگی میکنیم"
which means "We are living in Iran" in English is extracted as "ها در ايراى ز
دًگی هی ك يٌن" in which non of the words are valid Persian words, except "در"
(in). Below, I list the errors.
Extracted Original
ما ها
ایران ایرای
زندگی زدًگی
میکنیم هی ك يٌن

> 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.
