Tyler Palsulich closed TIKA-960.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Not a Problem
I tested this locally with
[setSuppressDuplicateOverlappingText|http://tika.apache.org/1.2/api/org/apache/tika/parser/pdf/PDFParser.html#setSuppressDuplicateOverlappingText(boolean)](true),
and the letters were not duplicated. Closing this as Not a Problem.

> Key: TIKA-960
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-960
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Environment: Windows 7, Oracle JRE 1.6.0_32, 64-Bit Server VM
> Reporter: Christof Luick
>
> When I extract the text from a given PDF (fussball.pdf, see link below) with
> Tika 1.2, the text extractor returns duplicated letters for some words. The
> string "SCHULE/KINDERGRUPPE" for example will be transformed into
> SSCCHHUULLEE//KKIINNDDEERRGGRRUUPPPPEE".
> The file "fussball.pdf" can be found at:
> http://www.pixelschleuder.de/misc/fussball.pdf
> I used the following command line for text extraction:
> java -jar tika-app-1.2.jar -t -eUTF-8 fussball.pdf > test.utf-8
