Andreas Lehmkühler resolved PDFBOX-728.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
I've checked theoutput of the current trunk and it looks good. It's not 100%
perfect as for some of the characters the correct mapping is missing. But the
result is better than the one provide by the acrobat reader using copy&paste.

> The text in this example is extracted essentially correctly, but presented in
> a hex-encoded form, probably interspersed with some non encoded characters as
> in the following example:
> x54x6f x69x6ex63x6fx72x70x6fx72x61x74x65 x74x68x65 x65x6cx61x73x74x69x63
> x70x72x6fx70x65x72x74x69x65x73 x6fx66 x74x68x65 x6dx61x74x65x72x69x61x6cx2c
> x77x65 x6ex65x65x64 x74x6f x69x6ex74x72x6fx64x75x63x65 x74x68x65
> x64x65x66x6fx72x2d
> x6dx61x74x69x6fx6e x74x65x6ex73x6fx72
> F(X, t) = ∂x∂X (X, t).
> A Perl command like
> s/x([\da-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/eg;
> will usually reveal a correct translation, although certain characters may be
> off, I had to add e.g.
> s/ÿ/ß/g;
