So you want to create your own text extraction routines instead of using (maybe improving) the iText parser package classes. Why? They do most of the heavy lifting for you already. BTW, I assume what your "direct way for extracting text" means is simply taking the page content and using the contained string as they are. That is not a "direct way" but instead a "naïve way". > My question, where cmap in font dictionary On the Adobe forums you have been pointed to look for a "ToUnicode CMap" (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5447851).

Is there any reason you don't follow that reference to object 30? You have also been pointed towards the PDF specification on the Adobe forums. Your questions here seem to indicate that you have chosen not to seriously follow that pointer. Why?
