Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4280:
-----------------------------------------
I was able to extract the file from the command line with the 1.8 version by
using "-encoding utf8". If you are doing this from java code, use
{{PDFTextStripper("utf8")}} as constructor.
Does this work for you?
Re 2.0.11: If your file is not too big, call {{new PDFParser(new
RandomAccessBuffer(IOUtils.toByteArray()))}}. Don't forget to close the input
stream after that. Or make your life easy and just call PDDocument.load() on
your stream instead of constructing a PDFParser yourself which has been
obsolete for years but is in many third party "tutorials".
