Hi All,
I have a requirement to read tamil pdf document and store the content in
db. When I read the document using Pdfbox, the characters are junked and
not readable. I suppose this problem to be with fonts used. Can you help me
to resolve this?
Below is my code:
PDFTextStripper pdfTextStripper = new PDFTextStripper();
String page = "";
for (int i = pageNo; i <= pages.size(); i++) {
pdfTextStripper.setStartPage(i);
pdfTextStripper.setEndPage(i);
pdfTextStripper.setFonts(pages.get(i).getResources().getFonts());
page += pdfTextStripper.getText(document);
}
Awaiting for your reply.
