-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Closing as "won't fix", as it doesn't look like there's anything to fix here.

> Key: PDFBOX-1919
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1919
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.8.5, 1.8.6, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Corentin Regal
> Attachments: PDFBOX-1919.AdobeReader.txt, PDFBOX-1919.pdf,
> PDFBOX-1919.txt

> The font descriptor flags are not set.
> They are described in the document "PDF reference 1.7" at : 5.7.1 Font
> Descriptor Flags
> The methods in PDFontDescriptor are ready but never called :
> setFlags()
> setSerif()
> setAllCap() which is used in a lot of PDF
> ...
> I saw some TODO that relate to that issue in the code, is it planned to be
> implemented soon?
> ---
> UPDATE: This issue turned out to be caused by span tags and how Adobe Acrobat
> handles copy & paste. Ultimately the PDF contains poor quality ToUnicode
> mappings and poor quality span tags, so there's no real fix.
