Tilman Hausherr commented on TIKA-3858: --------------------------------------- The current PDFBox version (2.0.26) doesn't use it. It's used in PDFBox 1.8.17 which has many drawbacks. The latest tika version is 2.4.1, please try that one. > Ligatures convert on text extraction > ------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-3858 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3858 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: parser > Affects Versions: 1.5 > Environment: win 8, jre 1.5 > Reporter: tom hill > Priority: Major > > According to tika sources review, it uses pdfbox to parse pdf files. > I found that pdfbox itself uses icu4j to handle ligatures. > Unfortunately, when i added icu4j jar to my classpath nothing changed, > ligatures are still not converted.
