Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4758:
-----------------------------------------
As I wrote, the word file is incorrect so I don't expect anything good. But the
libreoffice file should work. Could you please test with pdf-app of 2.0.18 ?
java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.18.jar ExtractText -sort
libreoffice-ligatures-test.pdf XXXX
where XXX is your output file (or the console "filename"). I get
{quote}conflict, difference, baffling, finished, affirmation
{quote}
and this works both with 2.0.18 and with 2.0.1 for me.
Do any error / warning / info log messages appear on your machine? I'm
surprised that it doesn't work there because the fonts are embedded, so no
troubles with missing fonts.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0.18
> Reporter: Michael Reynolds

>
> TextExtractor mishandles typographic ligatures. I've attached test documents
> from both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice.
> I've checked PDFBox's output against xPDF on CentOS, and the ligatures are
> properly handled with that utililty, so it appears that this is a PDFBox
> defect.
