PDF supplies glyph->unicode mapping, but PDFBox doesn't use it.

Key: PDFBOX-1127
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1127
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Environment: Tested trunk r1177011
Reporter: Robert Muir
We had a user report this PDF to the lucene lists:
http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/7a8c14a534d9a84c/tika_can_not_parse_all_of_the_persian_pdf_files
I asked them to create a TIKA issue (TIKA-713) and attach the PDF file
Upon inspection, the fonts used in the PDF have custom encodings (that map the
characters to U+0001, U+0002, ...), however they contain a mapping for the font
to unicode >>/Type/Encoding/BaseEncoding/WinAnsiEncoding/Differences, but
PDFbox doesnt use this mapping. If you use ExtractText it extracts the raw
control characters instead.
