Pedro Rodrigues commented on PDFBOX-894: ---------------------------------------- Hi Martijn, I`m using PDFBox 1.3.1, calling the methods: org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper.getText("TJMT_20101025.pdf"); or even org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText.main(new String[]{"TJMT_20101025.pdf", "-encoding","ASCII"}); //And substituting ASCII for UNICODE, UTF-8, UTF-32, ISO 8859-1... The text I`m getting is: A COMPOSI??O DAS C?MARAS EST` DE ACORDO COM A PROPOSI??O N.? 14/2010 - TP, DISPONIBILIZADA NO DI`RIO DA JUSTI?A ELETR NICO, EDI??O 8403 DE 27/08/2010 (Where the right text should be: A COMPOSIÇÃO DAS CÂMARAS ESTÁ DE ACORDO COM A PROPOSIÇÃO N.° 14/2010 - TP, DISPONIBILIZADA NO DIÁRIO DA JUSTIÇA ELETRÔNICO, EDIÇÃO 8403 DE 27/08/2010) > Can`t open XREF as a stream. Latin Chars unreconized > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-894 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-894 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Parsing > Affects Versions: 1.3.1 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Pedro Rodrigues > Attachments: TJMT_20101025.pdf > > > Latin characters (e.g. á, é, í, õ, ç) just aren`t recognized in PDF, creating > text files with strange characters like Œ, ? and ˆ instead of the right ones. > I tryied to investigate through the PDFBox code what could have caused this, > but with my limited knowledge on PDF formating, I couldn`t advance too much. > There are 2 points which I`d like to comment: > 1 - The PDF has no XREF table, using Stream XREF(e.g. 3076/Type/XRef/W[1 3 > 1]>>stream) instead; > 2 - While encoding the byte stream (COSStream.getFilteredStream().doEncode()) > the Filter encoding is FlateDecode (not sure if it`s a real issue, since in > other PDFs I get this same encoding and it works fine). > I`m not sure if there`s a problem with the pdf itself, since I can open it > and see the Latin Characters with no trouble at Adobe and Foxit Readers. > Attached is on of the PDFs that I`m talking about. The issue is seen from the > 5th page on. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
