Ha, yes, though I wasn't suggesting we start selling something to the general
public. Look at my sentence from 05/Aug/14, I managed it just fine. It just
takes a little care, that's all.
To test out the LTL and RTL embedding levels, we really need a carefully
crafted test PDF which demonstrates all of these cases. It has to be simple,
else we won't be able to debug it. There's no need for large amounts of text -
a few words is sufficient.

> 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, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Amir
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
> Attachments: PDFTextStripper.java.patch, test.pdf
>
>
> 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.
