Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5487:
-----------------------------------------
I made an attempt to look whats happening in normalizeWord and handleDirection
but I have no clue how to interpret what I'm seeing. I also created a WORD file
with "العالمية" and converted that to PDF [^arabtest.pdf] but text extraction
works properly.
What might help bring this forward is if anybody who has a PDF editor could
reduce the original file to the minimal possible text that still produces the
error in PDFBox. I'm not saying we'll be able to fix it, but it might make it
easier to another person who wants to try.
