Cristian Vat commented on TIKA-469:
-----------------------------------
Possible this is a problem with the PDF or installed/available fonts?
Reasoning: Tried opening using Tika GUI app and got garbled text. Then I tried
selecting all text from PDF in Adobe Reader and pasting it into Word/Notepad++.
This also resulted in what looks like exactly the same garbled text.
