Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-776.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
The text can't be extracted as the pdf doesn't provide any readable character
mapping. Even the "adobe test" fails. The reason is a malformed toUnicode
mapping. I guess the ghostscript guys already fixed that.
> Text extraction gibberish after ghostscript update

> Key: PDFBOX-776
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-776
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FontBox, Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Reporter: Kevin Pearcey
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Attachments: test-870.pdf, test-871.pdf
>
>
> I have a test pdf document that is generated using ps2pdf from ghostscript.
> If I use ghostscript 8.70 then pdfbox will correctly extract the text
> If I use ghostscript 8.71 then pdfbox will not correctly extract the text
> (same byte count but gibberish characters).
> I will also note, that I had to update poppler to 0.14 to get it to correctly
> extract text from the test-871.pdf, the previous version would only extract
> the correct text from text-870.pdf.
> Attached will be the pdf generated using the same original postscript file
> but run using ghostscript 8.70 vs 8.71.
