Ben McCann commented on PDFBOX-3043:
------------------------------------
One more weird thing about this is that PrintTextLocations says
{{space=5.537458}} for every single character except the © where it says
{{space=9.963}}. There's some weirdness around figuring out whether to put a
space after this character. I think the overly large space for this character
is what's causing the problem
> Problem extracting copyright symbol?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3043
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0

> This document has a © symbol. It's being extracted as "c©". I wanted to check
> if this is a bug.
> One of the things that's strange about this is that PDFTextStripper first
> processes "c" and then processes "©". However, PrintTextLocations prints them
> in the other order
> String[214.936,618.879 fs=9.963 xscale=9.963 height=8.642903 space=9.963
> width=9.962997]©
> String[217.704,618.579 fs=9.963 xscale=9.963 height=6.072449 space=5.537458
> width=4.4235687]c
