Michael, Thanks for your time, I was about to open a jira issue and then realized there is an issue (PDFBOX-5) opened already on this related to CJK fonts. In fact I have downloaded the chinese.pdf for my testing from this URL only https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5 (pls check PDFBOX5-CJK.zip\chinese.pdf in the url).
Pls let me know if there is any work around for this issue. Regards Srinivaas -----Original Message----- From: Michael McCandless [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 5:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Issue while extracting chinese chars from pdf Can you open a jira issue and attach your PDF there? Your attachment didn't come through. Thanks. Unfortunately (from my limited understanding) PDFs can be tricky. EG, if they use an embedded font and that font doesn't include unicode mappings for its glyphs then PDFBox won't be able to extract the character data, I believe.
