John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-1919:
-------------------------------------
I took a detailed look at the PDF in question, using Acrobat Pro XI I get "IN
NoRtheRN IReLAND" and I always get the same result if I copy & paste, export
plain text, or export accessible text. OS X Preview gives the same result, as
does Chrome's PDF viewer.
I really don't think that Acrobat is using the span tags to repair the unicode
table. Andreas, what version of Acrobat did you use? Given that every PDF
viewer I've tried produces the same text in all cases, I'd say that PDFBox's
behaviour is correct.
