Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-1424:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for the test and the in-depth analysis. I double checked the unicode
mapping provided in the pdf and the result and came to the conclusion that from
the pdf point of view everything works fine. I can't see any issue with pdfbox
and the fact that adobe provides the same result confirms my assumption. The
unicode mapping within the pdf is simply wrong. I'm afraid you have to blame
the tool which you were using to create the pdf or probably the creator of the
font.

> 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.
