Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5796:
-----------------------------------------
Maybe Adobe is using OCR? PDFBox doesn't have a feature to do OCR. Apache Tika
supports the use of an external OCR engine (tesseract).
> PDFBox cannot extract vector text from a PDF

> PDFBox does not extract any text in the PDF which has all text encoded as
> vector objects.
> Unfortunately, I cannot attach the original document here(confidentiality)
> but. have attached screenshot of pre-flight analysis of the a working file
> and a non-working file using Adobe Acrobat pro. I can't copy paste the text
> directly, however Adobe's "Recognize Text" function works on the document. I
> verified that the whole page is not an image but definitley all text is
> encoded as vector objects. I have attached an example of what pre-flight
> analysis for a letter shows.
