> Hello,
> When attempting to extract text from the following file
> (http://www.luckit.org/pdfbox/uk-case-of-william-goodwin.pdf), I observe the
> following exception (full stack trace at end of report):
> java.io.IOException: Error expected floating point number actual='91.-59'
> I'm using version 0.7.3 (on linux, jre 1.5.06). I'll happily supply any more
> information that you might require.
> Many thanks in advance,

> Your PDF is flawed. On the first page there is an instruction
> 91.-59 Tz
> that is incorrect. Tz will set the textscaling (default = 100), but has to do
> so with a double. This should probably be 91.-59. It appears to be just
> before the text "Emma", so maybe you can fix it with Adobe Acrobat or another
> editor.
> I doubt you'll get useful results though, the PDF is mostly image with OCR'ed
> text behind it. It will contain many errors.

> fix/workaround this issue.
