Michael Klink commented on PDFBOX-5155:
---------------------------------------
{quote}I can extract the text with Adobe Reader without any issues. With pdfbox
the output text contains gibberish.
{quote}
PDFBox text extraction only relies on mapping arguments of text drawing
instructions to Unicode. Adobe Reader also supports text extraction via the
*ActualText* entries for structure elements or marked-content sequences. Thus,
there simply are situations in which Adobe Reader text extraction returns
something else than PDFBox text extraction. Whether Adobe Reader or PDFBox
returns the expected result, depends on the PDF in question, it might befumble
either tool.
Thus, please check whether Adobe Reader actually returns a different result
because of such *ActualText* entries or really because of better font parsing.
