Ben McCann commented on PDFBOX-3044:
------------------------------------
To demonstrate the problem, here's what happens when you try to diff two of
these files:
{code}
$ diff pdfbox/src/test/resources/input/hello3.pdf.txt
pdfbox/src/test/resources/input/rotation.pdf.txt
Binary files pdfbox/src/test/resources/input/hello3.pdf.txt and
pdfbox/src/test/resources/input/rotation.pdf.txt differ
{code}
If you convert to utf8 then you can use diff tools. The issue here is that I'm
working on PDFTextStripper, but I can't easily tell if I've improved or
worsened the results because I can't diff the before and after results.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ben McCann
>
> The files in pdfbox/src/test/resources/input all seem to be UTF16 encoded.
> I'm having a really difficult time using these files with the tools that I
> typically use (git, meld, etc.) Would it be possible to change the encoding
> to UTF8?
