---------------------------------
Summary: PDFToImage conversion garbled characters on Linux but
Windows OK
Key: PDFBOX-3872
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3872
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Text extraction
Affects Versions: 2.0.5
Environment: Oracle Linux 3.8.13-118.14.1.el6uek.x86_64 + JRE 8 u131
-versus-
Windows 7 x64 + JRE 8 u131
Reporter: Ed Sawdon
Attachments: BC600_S1_P3_A708__A1-Linux.jpg,

I have lots of PDF documents with CID/Identity-H encoding which convert to
images just fine on a Windows 7 platform, but the conversion on Linux causes
garbled text in the image.
I have permission from Blue Chyp Ltd to share a culprit PDF publicly in the
PDFBox community - the first attachment.
Running "java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.5.jar PDFToImage BC600_S1_P3_A708__A.PDF" on
Linux gives an image with garbled text - the second attachment.
However, running the same command on Windows 7 gives a faithful jpeg image -
the third attachment.
I used the 64 bit JRE 8 update 131 In both the Windows and Linux environments.
I used to suffer from lots of PDF->Image conversions giving garbled text at
PDFBox1.8. Upgrading to PDFBox2.0 has fixed most of these issues, except for
this odd one with identity-H encoding with the Linux JRE.
