Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-1438:
--------------------------------------------
Maybe there is a misunderstanding. There is no "real" text in this pdf. It is
stored as graphic (a pile of lines, curves and boxes). Do the "adobe test" [1]
to doublecheck that.
IMO there is only one possible workaround for such cases: convert the pdf to an
image and use an OCR-software to extract the text. But in your special case it
seems hard to do so, as the text is spread across the whole page using
different font sizes.
