-----------------------------------------
Yeah, I'm confused: when copying from Adobe Reader, I get this:

So the 1434 is at a different place than visually expected.
And do I understand this correctly, that in arabic, numbers are written ltr?

> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.8.6, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Amir

>
> 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.
