[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1199) Tika extracts weird signs instead of text

["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1199?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13828985#comment-13828985 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1199:
----------------------------------

I've just tried this file with the Apache PDFBox tool "org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox" using the option "ExtractText". I get the same binary stuff out too. However, the linux tool pdftotext is able to extract the text out just fine, so it doesn't appear to be a corrupt file.

This will therefore need reporting upstream to the Apache PDFBox project
