Jiri Vorac updated PDFBOX-2547:
-------------------------------
Attachment: PDFTextStreamEngine.txt
It seems there is no Unicode information available for mentioned characters in
the file.
Currently the font character code is directly converted to Unicode (in this
case chr(2) for both mentioned characters) what makes loss of information.
So I would propose (patch attached) to use font glyph name to be shown instead
of control character codes in result. Of course with some context "<UNK_169lc>"
to be easily identified and perhaps replaced manually by the user.
> maybe encoding error
