Giorgio Pettenati updated PDFBOX-860:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: new_evidence2.zip
Hi Martijn,
I can confirm that after adding the dependency ICU4J 3.8 to my classpath the
extraction of the text is correct.
We attach a print of my system properties in the case could be of some use.
I still want to point out that the extraction problem does not occur on all PDF
documents, but only with some.
It may be that this particular document is badly coded, or in a different way
than standard.
Anyway thanks for your attention and your precious time.
Best regards
Giorgio
