Tilman Hausherr commented on TIKA-3858:
---------------------------------------
The current PDFBox version (2.0.26) doesn't use it. It's used in PDFBox 1.8.17
which has many drawbacks. The latest tika version is 2.4.1, please try that one.
> Ligatures convert on text extraction

> Key: TIKA-3858
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3858
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: win 8, jre 1.5
> Reporter: tom hill
> Priority: Major
>
> According to tika sources review, it uses pdfbox to parse pdf files.
> I found that pdfbox itself uses icu4j to handle ligatures.
> Unfortunately, when i added icu4j jar to my classpath nothing changed,
> ligatures are still not converted. Sample pdf file is attached.
