Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5029:
-----------------------------------------
Could you please tell what segment in the PDF is affected, i.e. one line? Then
please copy & paste that into WORD and convert to PDF, and see if it happens
again, and if yes, please attach that PDF.
(This will be difficult to solve. I really wonder why the Tika is so different,
because Tika uses our stripper class)

> I'm working on building a corpus of Uygur texts and some of the content is
> coming from pdf files. I wrote a short python script to scrape text from pdf
> using tika-python. The script is Arabic, and the output looks good but there
> is one major problem: there are many missing spaces between words and I
> really do not know how to address this issue. I am attaching a pdf file, the
> script to scrape its text and the output (test_scraped.utf8). Thanks in
> advance for your help.
