----------------------------
Summary: PDFTextStripper has problem with bilingual documents
Key: PDFBOX-2252
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2252
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 1.8.6
Reporter: Amir
Priority: Critical
When the input document of PDFTextStripper is a combination of right-to-left
and left-to-right languages, the output characters of one language is reversed.
A sample bilingual pdf document is attached.
PDFTextStripper has a variable "isRtlDominant" in "writePage" function, which
is defined as follows: boolean isRtlDominant = rtlCount > ltrCount;
This class clearly count the number of rtl characters and decide if the whole
content should be revered or not. It's not true, it must operate on each word,
not the whole document.
