Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-1823.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
The text can't be extracted. The pdf doesn't contain any information to map the
internal glyph id to readable text.
The only workaround I know is to convert every single page of the pdf to an
image and pass the result to an OCR software. But I guess that is very handy ...
Anyway, I've closed this issue, as there isn't any problem with PDFBox. If you
have any further questions please address those to one of our the mailing
lists. See [1] on how to subscribe to it.
