PDFBOX-2384: Use UTF-8 as the default encoding for ExtractText
> ExtractText should default to UTF-8
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2384
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2384
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
>
> ExtractText (and perhaps also PDFTextStripper) should default to UTF-8, which
> is what most people expect. There have been two long-standing open issues
> PDFBOX-755, PDFBOX-970, because of not using having a good default.
> I've escalated this to a bug, see the first comment.
