Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3130:
-----------------------------------------
No, it's really just the font bbox that is incorrect, it's rather the creator
of the PDF who missed a transformation. The new file is a simple one, there is
no scaling in the content stream, except the font size (8).
The CapHeight is 1024, which is a more realistic value. The 1.8 version was
taking that one first, and only used the fontBBox as a fallback.

> Key: PDFBOX-3130
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3130
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Fred Andrews
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Fix For: 2.0.0

> Text extraction using PrintTextLocations is getting garbled characters in the
> attached snippet.
> For this file it is getting one string of "2O(Er4env vqeheurosriAurseirueeass
> ss/Ct:7:rh adaliaargynse csr eadc+cit6e l1ipc te+2en 6d9c1)9e 91 2933"
> This test case is about as small as I could make it and still show the
> problem; when I reduced the file to just one line of text, then the text came
> though correctly.
> This problem shows up in RC2 and the latest development build. I believe it
> was OK in the development build from Nov 4
