Summary: Tika - Issues extracting Arabic script from pdf
Key: PDFBOX-5029
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5029
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Windows - Anaconda / Spyder
Reporter: Christian
Attachments: extracting_text_asian_pdf.py, test.pdf, test_scraped.utf8
I'm working on building a corpus of Uygur texts and some of the content is
coming from pdf files. I wrote a short python script to scrape text from pdf
using tika-python. The script is Arabic, and the output looks good but there is
one major problem: there are many missing spaces between words and I really do
not know how to address this issue. I am attaching a pdf file, the script to
scrape its text and the output (test_scraped.utf8). Thanks in advance for your
help.
