Aleksandar Putnik commented on PDFBOX-3438:
-------------------------------------------
Hi,
I see that the ticket is closed but the title of this ticket fits well to my
problem.
Unlike the first case, here I have a document from which the Acrobat Reader
(Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) can extract the text (although not with a 100%
precision).
pdfbox 1.8.6 returns question marks while pdfbox 2.0.9 returns nothing (besides
those warnings about missing unicode mapping).
The font in question is ArialMT with custom encoding and the pdf doesn't
include toUnicode mapping.
`pdftotext` also can't extract anything but only show an error `Syntax Error:
Unknown character collection 'Adobe-ArialMT'`
The possible culprit may also be the pdf producer (used by the customer) -
VintaSoft PDF .NET Plug-in v5.5, but there I'm really not sure.
What should be the next step here?
Thanks
