> >> I am using PDFTextStripper (embedded into another application) to get 
> >> the raw text of PDFs so far with good results but recently a PDF file 
> >> has appeared where the output of the PDFTextStripper was corrupted. I 
> >> got sentences like:
> >>
> >>    
> >>
> >> "There is al o con ern that b nkers may be pushed to misprice risk 
> >> (No. 6) by the pres ures of c mpetition and an abunda ce of central b 
> >> nk-provided liquidity."
> > Additionally some portions of text appear 
> > twice in the output: first correctly and then corrupted. I have 
> > attached an output created with PDFBox's command line options.
> > If you compare lines 357- 365 with lines 421-429 you see that it is 
> > the same paragraph, first ok and then with characters missing. In the 
> > original source this paragraph is unique.
> > The same seems to happen for the other instances where text is corrupted.
> I also tried it directly on the command line with the same results: input and output files are attached.
