Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2451:
-----------------------------------------
While you're waiting for the permission, do this:
- go to
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/1.8.8-SNAPSHOT/
- download the latest .jar file, today it would be
pdfbox-app-1.8.8-20141023.180952-63.jar
- try this: java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.8-20141023.180952-63.jar ExtractText
XXXX.pdf
- the extracted text will be in XXXX.txt
- if you have something meaningful, then you can close this issue as "not a
problem" and mention in TIKA-1095 that it works with PDFBox 1.8.8
- if not, then keep waiting for the permission.

> I was told to report a bug here. There are problems with extracting text from
> PDF files in Dutch. The bug was reported in issue TIKA-1095
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1095). The problem can be
> reproduced with the latest Tika version.
> The extracted Text only shows gibberish (or in other cases question marks and
> incorrect characters).
> It was suggested it could be a font problem. Could this be looked into?
