PDF file created with LaTeX is bad parsed -----------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-534 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-534 Project: PDFBox Issue Type: Bug Components: Parsing Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator Environment: Linux/Ubuntu 9 Reporter: Ernesto De Santis I'm getting an unexpected behavior parsing a pdf file. I'm trying to get the clean body text of some file, and I get a lot of aXX strings. Where each X is a number. It appear be the char code of the real character, I don't know really. My code is too simple: String[] args = {"/home/ernesto/tesis/documento/kvfs.pdf"}; ExtractText.main(args); The output I get is: a73a109a112a108a101a109a101a110a116a97a110a100a111 a97a99a99a101a115a111 a97 a115a105a115a116a101a109a97a115 a100a101 a97a114a99a104a105a118a111a115 a118a105a114a116a117a97a108a101a115 a112a97a114a97 a108a97 a104a101a114a114a97a109a105a101a110a116a97 a100a101 a98a250a115a113a117a101a100a97 a75a110a101a111a98a97a115a101 and more ......
