Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-5796.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
I'm closing this because it's outside of our scope, and not a bug. Please use
Apache Tika (which uses PDFBox and Tesseract), or use your own logic to use OCR.

> 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.
