Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3800:
-----------------------------------------
That is because "Mapping Twitter topic networks: ... " until "... hub and
spokes" are images. Try extracting the text with Adobe Reader, it won't work
either. All you can do is to use OCR. PDFBox doesn't support that, but Apache
TIKA has a setting for it.
> I extract text of a pdf using PDFTextStripper and part of the text is missing.

> Hi,
> I am quite unfamiliar with PDFbox. Still, I spent some time trying to figure
> out to solve the following issue.
> There is an issue for the pdf in attachment while extracting its text.
> Indeed, as you can see the pdf contains the text "Mapping Twitter topic
> networks: ... " until "... hub and spokes". But the result of PDFTextStripper
> getText() does not contain any of these characters.
> I checked and the community has already fixed similar bugs in the past.
> Any help will be delighted.
> Cheers,
> A.
