Uwe Schindler updated TIKA-722:
-------------------------------
Attachment: JUFO96.PDF
Here is a non-persian example (which is actually a very-very early writeup from
myself, back in 1996, from my personal archive - don't read it). If you try to
copypaste text out of it you will see the same problem. It's also Acrobat
Distiller 3.0 with font subsets.
> Arabic PDF doesn't extract correctly

> Key: TIKA-722
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-722
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: 000279.pdf, JUFO96.PDF, metadata.png
>
>
> I have a PDF w/ Arabic font that Tika fails to extract (gets all
> gibberish).
> Looks like the PDF does not include the separate Unicode text metadata
> (hmm: would Tika extract that if it were present?), and copy/paste out
> of the PDF also produces gibberish.
> To fix this I think we'd somehow have to know the mapping for the
> font (this particular font is AXTManal)?
